So my Teksid block is at the machine shop. Got my pistons in. I am planning out all my semi blueprint checks during my build. I need to get several tools, but my concern is how to be accurate enough to feel confident in the build, but do so on a home build budget, not a machine shop budget for tools.
Things I need:
Micrometers 2 - 4" (want it to read .0001" as close as possible)
Dial bore gage 2 - 4" (want it to read to .0001" as close as possible)
Dial bore gage base (end play)
Or
Telescoping Gages?
ring grinder
piston ring compressor
Also ideally a local option for engine stand (anything good at harbor freight for our engine size)?
In general like many things, the more $$$ the better the quality. But looking for a compromise that perhaps others have used.
Thinking of Shars 303-4728 for bore gage.
Thanks
