I'm going to take this a little further.....
To accurately check the bore.... you need either: A bore gauge, or a set of "T" gauges and micrometers
To accurately check the out-of-round on the crank...... you need: Micrometers
To set crank end play..... you need: A dial indicator
I could go on. There really are a lot of special tools needed to properly rebuild an engine.
