[QUOTE="John Cone, post: 14416, member: 280"] On the subject of micrometers, until recently i still had a full set of internal mics which i had given as gift when i stated my apprenticeship as an engine builder in the 60's. Theres no need for them today because as bores get worn we just pull out the liner and insert a new one and keep everything as standard. With most large truck engines it does not matter what the physical size of the engine is ie: 240 to 680hp the bore sizes are the same, the power out puts altered by remapping the engine management system, altering the valve timing or the fuel injection system. So theres no need to rebore or worry about oversize pistons. [/QUOTE]
