Okay, so you are wondering if your clearances are off. You use Plastigage (this is the correct spelling). You tighten down everything and see what the Plastigage has to say.

If they read thin (clearance is too loose), you can see whats the next step. You have too see how far its off, and select the appropriate bearing size. If you spend some time poking around in the FSM it will surely make sense.

If the clearance is off, or if your number isn't in range, that is if the thickness if your plastigauge if you measure it isn't in range, sorry if it isn't between the 2 numbers Nissan lists, it's bad, rather you can't assemble it. It needs to be in range because thats how it is, meaning that Nissan built it that way and because of that construction it needs to be kept the same or else it won't work.

And then, you fix it or you assemble it, to the point that either you put it back together or you replace it.
