[QUOTE="Bunya, post: 1189524, member: 77196"] NO! Besides the problem with the geometry that GMC mentioned, calipers simply aren't accurate enough for this type of work. Quality calipers such as Brown & Sharpe, Mitutoyo, and Starrett are typically only accurate to .002", digital or dial. The cheap Chicom ones are even worse. Anytime you need an accurate measurement, a micrometer is the prefered tool. Bore gages are good, but they are expensive and because they can only read the ID of the bore, a micrometer is still needed to check the OD of the piston. For accuracy, both the Bore gage and the Mic need to be checked against known standards before using them to determine clearances. A single micrometer and a snap gage are relatively inexpensive and will yield a sufficiently accurate number when properly used. Marc - [/QUOTE]
