Hah! good one! Yes, but lots of good info here from guys that have much experience. I'm not a machinist. I'm a firm believer in "trust but verify" I got jerked around by a machine shop very recently, I mic my crank to find they didn't polish it to give me .003 clearance, 3x back and forth to get...

Thank you, for "which tool" reminder. I use a dial bore gauge and a mic for measuring before and after machine shop service, I'm not a machinist and. I believe .001'' is fine just as others have said too.

3) yes very cumbersome! I have considered the go/no go for future builds. Great info thanks

Thank you

Thank you

I agree, thank you

Brother you said all! I have decent mics, dial bore gage, but no authority on use. I can get a different reading on the same part if I measure it several times. My fat carpel tunnel fingers are not precious tools anymore! I also use plasti gauge, since 1982 to check before and after machine work...

Hello, which resolution measurement is acceptable to measure pre machine shop work and post machine shop work? Small block chevy mild build weekend driver. Just trying to get input for an ongoing debate between a couple of friends. One says .001 dial indicator is just fine for a hobby builder...

Thank you, I thought I had it figured out when I sat in the car in a pitch-black garage. Sitting motionless for 30 min. I could hear the speakers pop/click ever so slightly. I removed the audio fuse, that fuse also controls the dash lights/gauge function. All was good no drain for a week then...

Wow, that's more info than I've found searching the web! Four ideas in one post, that is outstanding, usually its one idea per post on the net. My thought was buying a new BCM as reviews for outsourcing my current BCM being swapped for a reprogrammed bcm, Online reviews of this process are...

Hello richfinn, is there any way I could pick your brain regarding a parasitic drain on my wife's 2012 Ford edge V6? I've narrowed it down to the BCM pretty sure. I'm able to replace it but no luck other than he dealer to reprogram the BCM and the key fobs. In fact, now the dealer won't...

Thanks again for the cutter info
