You have to use fresh Plastigage. The older it gets, the less accurate it is. When you go get some more, ask the clerk what the "born on date" was on the carton it came in.

this is technically true with what prices I paid for most of the parts in the car

Sometimes it's just cheaper/better to do multiple tear downs and see what went wrong and fixing it than just throwing out the BIG money to have an engine builder put it together.
