Ls1 Engine Build Dial Bore Indicator

In order to inspect the diameters of the cylinders and mains, a dial bore indicator is necessary. We'll be using the Powerhouse unit we discussed in the tools article. First, set the overall length of the tool to be just larger than the hole you are trying to measure. Do this by adjusting the attachments and shims included with the tool, and measure the overall length you get using a micrometer or caliper. When inserted into the hole in question, the tool indicates how much it is being compressed.
