I missed the fact that you're using an inside mic. I have a
couple
of
that style, but rarely use them. For this sort of thing I'm more
comfortable with a telescoping gauge and outside mic, thus my
suggestion to use the bearing as a standard. It seems to me the
telescoping gauge gives a better feel than the inside mics and
makes
a
direct comparison between the bearing and bore easier.

Thanks. I've had trouble with telescoping gauges previously,
probably
because I didn't have a rigid enough boring bar to get a smooth
finish. I just measured the inside mike's setting ring with one
and
hit 1.0000" on the first try.

Rule #1..dont use a boring bar UNLESS you absolutely need one.
Rule #2 Keep it as absolutely short as possible.
Rule #3. Make it as fat as you can.
I've had the 3/4" boring bar for a long time, but was stuck on how
to
cut a 5/16" lathe bit for it to length at the correct angle until I
tried the 7" angle grinder with a cutoff disk.

As I said..its not..not rocket science.
No, this is:
Final velocity = (exhaust velocity) * ln ((mass at liftoff) / (mass
at burnout ) )
Sexy!! I love it when a formula comes together!!
