Default What tool is used to measure to wall clearance?

The regular feeler gauge does not look practical?

Measure the piston diameter and then measure the cylinder bores. Do the math from there...

Just make sure all the parts are at room temp, the measurements will change with tempature. The correct tools to use are a micrometer and dial bore gauge.

It's for a lot more than that; but yea you don't directly measure piston to wall clearance.
