No, the calipers were used to get a rough measurement of the od of the casting as shown in the pictures. I used a good set of inside micrometers to measure the bore, starting just below the carbon ridge at the top, taking two measurements at 90 degrees, then moving down to the center and bottom of ring travel. I used a 3-4 micrometer to verify the inside mic numbers from time to time. I actually ran a bore gauge down the bores to check for taper but didn't find anything that the inside mics didnt show.
