Internal dial gauge 50... 100 mm

Measure bores at 3 locations in both directions -A- across engine and -B- in line with crankshaft.

NOTE: Measuring of the cylinder bores must not be done when the cylinder block is mounted on a repair stand with adapter bracket VW 540, as incorrect measurements would then be possible.
