You only check bearing clearances using a plastigauge. Not for bolt torque.

The correct way of tightening rod bolts is using a stretch gauge or maybe a micrometer to check how much the studs have stretched. Also some rods come with differant studs/bolts so you have to figure out what bolts you have to figure out torque value if you choose to use that method.
