Re: measuring cyl. taper & compressor. tip

[Scott Paisley <scotty@csn.net>]

In a pinch, couldn't you take a new ring, measure the gap at the top
of the bore, then push the ring down to the bottom, and measure the
gap there.  If you get differnet gap readings, then you have a taper.
How to calcualte the amount of taper is left as an exersize to the
reader.

Seriously, would this be an accurate way to measure taper?
