    The only other way I can think of would be with a slide ruler(I think that's what it's called) beings they are out the hole.

    It's a height and depth gauge.

    Actually you just made me think, thanks for that I actually have a vernier depth gauge made by starret with a wide foot tucked away forgot all about it. I can place the foot on the piston and mic down to the block. Excellent. Any ideas on the gunge, would this be simply wet carbon, if it was bad oil ring staggering what would I get.
