[QUOTE="jmics19067, post: 489452, member: 27963"] A question about how to measure please. As a casual play rider<also for other mundane personal vehicles and production type work> I use the telescopic bore gauges and had no apparent ills. I would make a machinist cringe though since I really don't measure anything. I take my standard bore measurement and then add in the wear limit to it. I then set my micrometer to that measurement and then "pop" the telescopic gauge inside the micrometer. My purpose is in only making a "no go " gauge. As I said I have no real measurements of the bore but if my gauge does not pass thru the bore in any spot I gather that the bore is still usable. I have been doing it this way ever since trying to use the pop gauge in a 2 stroke cylinder and having a futile attempt at measuring near ports. This method allows me to "measure" close to the ports without having to try and wiggle the gauge falling into a port. My question is that although my method has no true accurate measurements and cannot tell you how worn the bore is, is this method good enough to just answer the question "put a piston in it or send it out for boring"? Any thoughts on if am screwing it up and why would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
