if you are unsure of the calibration just use the dial bore gauge as a comparator. Measure the piston with the micrometer. Hold the micrometer GENTLY in a vice maintaining the setting achieved whilst measuring the piston. Zero out the dial bore gauge in the block and then use the dial bore to gauge between the jaws of the micrometer. That way you are only measuring the size difference between the block and the piston (i.e. the clearance) rather than the outright size of each.

I feel like I can build an engine at this point just from watching these

[phelicks]

I find myself watching Devin more than Adam these days

Dont measure the pistons on the ears it better to do it in the centre.Also check the block top /centre and bottom.

[HedgeMaster]

As someone who's worked in a machine shop for 3+ years, I highly recommend you grabbing a calibrated gage block. Specially if you know you're going to be using a certain length, you can get a machined gage block to that exact spec from a machine shop down to the tenths. Then use it to see if you're outside vernier micrometer is calibrated. You can get it to be a nominal length, go and and no go. It's a good way to see if your stuff is calibrated, same goes for calipers.

The excessive clearance was why it was burning oil, which is why you had to tear it down. Remember?

Bobbi at the end!! Has me 😂😂😂!! Keep up the grind, it's appreciated 💯👊🏻

Devin, Also there is a form tolerance on the drawing that is used in inspection for the piston; so the piston will not be perfectly round.

[CCDVIDEO]

That ending had me laughing real good. You guys are a cute couple no doubt !

[Precisionmagert]

I've learned more about engines from this from this channel alone

[Mr.Bearded.Mechanic]

Tip: You should hold the bore gauge at the grey plastic part, not the metal housing, heat from your hand could made false reading. Cylinder should be measured 3-5 height positions and 2-3 angle/clock positions to be sure of the shape. I know this engine is not made for high rev, race, drag, high performance applications, so measurement is not that strict for a DIY rebuild, just wanted to add my 2 cents.

[tyronkhan]

I don't think she's talking about piston size lol ::))

[electrobuch]

I got an enxiety attack just watching this plastic table bend.

[rboyett]

Ayeee Sunwest! They are the guys I used for all my machine work and I’m in Texas!

[Dennissmd]

Годнота на ночь) Очень круто! Молодцом

[kingrazer]

Love your videos. Watch these in prep for when i get an evo!

[kaelll]

Awesome series dude. Loving the in-depth content instead of glossing over stuff!

[TheKrustyKak]

If you’re taking the diameter of the cylinder and subtracting the diameter of the piston and getting .0070 then wouldn’t piston to wall be .0035 because you have to account for both sides 🤔

[justraph]

Hi Devin, You should visit Nairobi Kenya
You are a celebrity on these sides of the world.

[-don]

Devin, is that .007 ÷ 2? If so you would have .0035 from wall of piston to cylinder all around. You may not be measuring exactly in the center of the piston. If you want to know the exact diameter of the piston it really should be done on a CMM.
