      I figured what the hell , I'm on a roll as far as tooling purchases .   
   Snap gauges are all good and fine , but it gets confusing sometimes when   
   mapping an out of round/belled cylinder . Translation : I'm gettin' lazy   
   in my old age . This one looks like it would be pretty easy to fabricate   
   a missing rod , and I have a couple of pieces of O1 drill rod the right   
   size .
