I appologize for my dumbness...

my chart here can read .002 to .006 inches. and my numbers above seem not so accurate or correct according to what I've read in the forums here.

the higher the number, the tighter it is, based on the red plastigage and it's chart. wouldnt .0015 inch be too loose?

.002 inch should be really tight.

So I'm still confused.
maybe I'm using the wrong method here.
