[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 16523713, member: 35549"] I have the red 2 ton engine stand from Harbor Freight. It's pretty solid. I've had multiple engines on it with no issues. Bore gauge- [URL]https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009Q5EZBK/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_inactive_ship_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/URL] I can't find the micrometer set I ordered. It wasn't much more. I also have a digital micrometer from Harbor Freight. I've calibrated them all since I have the ability at work. They all checked good. If I was running a professional machine shop I'd step up to Mitutoyo or Starrett. But since I use them roughly once a year they work for me. You don't need a ring grinder. Just make sure you file square to the edge. That's how I did the rings in my Boss set up. I used an upside down piston to make sure they were square in the bore. when I checked them with the feeler gauge. [/QUOTE]
