What tools does everyone use to measure the journals and ID of connecting rods? Any micrometers US made? I haven't looked as of yet but was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for one.

I been looking at the laser ones and those cost a pretty penny. Would a machine shop have a laser one to measure journals? GA area? Any laser measuring equipment to measure ID of rods?

Need this moved to the 350z tech section please.

 

When we did my motor build we used the following tools

I appreciate it very much. I only want to measure crank journals and ID of rods to pick the right bearings. Going to let the machine shop do the rest.
