Pick up a set of telescope gauges at your local tool supply or even at 
harbor freight.
They expand and take up the dimension of the cylinder and you use an 
outside micrometer to take your measurement.
They also sell small hole gauges (same principle) for measuring things 
like valve guide dimensions (id).
I have been using them for years.
But I always check with platigauge before assembly.
