When you are measuring any cylinder bore you are looking for three things, bore size, taper, and out of round. In this episode of DIY, Davin demonstrates how all three can be quickly and accurately measured using a dial bore gauge.

    That's all great and all… but that wooden box for the mics!

    Why is he measuring diagonal? The most extreme wear will occur near the top of the bore (as he observed; but because of the higher pressures forcing the rings against the wall) and perpendicular to the axis of the crankshaft (90 degrees to the wrist pin). This is due to the skirt of the piston being pushed against the bore wall during the compression (minor thrust) and power strokes (major thrust).
