It doesn’t take extremely expensive equipment to measure the the skirt clearance and crankshaft. Metric mikes are great but you can use inch mikes and indicators no problem. The inch stuff is actually nicer sometimes because they commonly have graduations in "tenths" (.0001”) which is more precise than a metric mike or indicator which will have graduations of .01mm (4 tenths).
If your measuring down to one tenth Your doing better than a lot of guys out there rebuilding engine.
Like I said it doesn’t have to be as accurate as your thinking. When you measure your going to be in the range given above which is a pretty big range on a mike or indicator. If your under it will be pretty clear.
You can probably buy what you need for $300 if your resourceful but you have to know how to use the tools. If you’ve never used a mike or zeroed a bore gauge then your probably not going to be very accurate your first few tries.
