What is the correct method to measure rod bearing crush when I have rods with dowels

Are these aluminum rods with dowels in the caps? The bearing insert ends should still stand proud to the parting line as in a steel rod with the same housing bore dimension. The dowel will keep the insert from moving when at operating temp., as aluminum rod housing bore dimensions change much more than a steel rod would. Normally(steel rod) bearing crush would keep the insert from moving.
