Ls1 Engine Build Cylinder Diameter

As it is impossible to visually set the tool perfectly horizontal in the cylinder, the tool is designed to be rocked back and forth until the largest value is seen on the dial indicator. This indicates the value that needs to be subtracted from the measured length of the tool in order to get the actual cylinder diameter. Outside of the cylinder, our Powerhouse caliper measures the length of the dial bore tool as 3.927 inches. Subtracting the maximum value indicated on the dial indicator when in the cylinder (0.023), this means the actual finished cylinder diameter is 3.904.
