plan on dropping a lot of coin for a good digital one, I was looking at more than a grand for one that can measure in .0001 increments. Tim i would like to replace the analog gauge for a digital one. what brand of gauge would be affordable yet accurate enough to measure bearing clearance?

here is a $30 gauge with the same accuracy as the $300 gauges. same accuracy as my analog but i can read it easier as well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/0-12-7mm-0-5-0-01mm-Digital-Probe-Indicator-Electronic-Dial-Test-Gauge-/221842075927?hash=item33a6d17117:g:YRQAAOSwd0BVvVVD

I prefer an analog gauge, graduated to .0001. That way, I can see it sweep towards zero, and very easily take a reading off the needle, without having to digest a bunch of moving numbers. IMHO, .0001 is essential, .0005 is too vague.

Sounds like you got a good one. Read and heard from others that theirs were not as good as yours. I was hoping to use the crank right out of the box. I may take a harder look at scat. Curious what issues you've heard about Molnar products because all that I've heard has been that their quality is extremely good.

Without "outing" the senders of those PMs, can you post the pertinent info contained in them? Thanks - Brad
