[QUOTE="rezrider, post: 172728, member: 79"] That's when you go back to that shop and show them the results of their work... again, if they don't stand behind their work they don't belong in business. As for using a bore gage, it's not a pick up and read the directions and use it with positive results by anyone... that is a precision inspection tool that (if used incorrectly) can cause problems ... the same as what was experienced from the shop... Could be THEY TOO didn't know how to use the tool, misread it, didn't have it centered, left right/up down... "0", etc... now if the bore gage you are speaking of is the same as what I am familiar with, you have to have a standard for setting it to so you know how many revolutions it dial needs to go and where to set zero. Trust me, I've been in the mfg biz a long time and know of machinists who "SAY" they know what they're doing but really don't... and they have years of experience. So Joe Public, renting a tool having never used it before NOR trained on it (to me) is LESS trustworthy than letting a shop do it... at least you "should" have some type of gauranty from the shop. if you falk up measuring it then you have yourself to blame and cost to burden!
