Default Re: measuring crank to cam distance

I could not get a consistent measurement with calipers because fitting the jaws to both surfaces required placing them inside the timing area where it was too easy to encounter interference with the long handle of the caliper. I used a large Mitutoyo crankshaft micrometer and then confirmed those measurements when a machinist friend came by with a Browne and Sharp, both of which allowed an easy and consistent measurement from the front.
