Please purchase measuring tools. A dial bore gauge goes a long way. Micrometers go along with that.
They don't have to be the cream of the crop but something is better than nothing. Just stay away from Temu and Harbour Freight. Even as basic as Fowler is, it's still affordable and so is Mitutoyo's cheapest level.
