Thanks, Gary in N.Y.
P.S. There is absolutely no issues with using "Plastigage", it's good for checking when a gauge isn't available! There is one other method (also accurate) that hasn't been mentioned anywhere up here and I'm sort of surprised! We used it many, many, years ago to get 15 units per week out the door! We had no bore gauge at the time and still managed well! Maybe somebody here will figure it out???
