Analog Dial Depth Gauge – Precision Tool for Small Engine Builders


The Analog Dial Depth Gauge is a must-have precision tool for small engine builders, performance tuners, and engine machinists. Designed to deliver accurate depth measurements, this tool is most commonly used to measure piston depth in the cylinder bore, a critical step in determining deck height, quench clearance, combustion chamber depth, and compression ratio calculations.


Built with both functionality and durability in mind, the gauge features a high-visibility red anodized aluminum base and a precision 0–1" travel dial indicator with 0.001" resolution.


Key Features:

  • 0–1" Dial Indicator Range – Accurate to 0.001", perfect for piston depth and deck height measurement
  • Bright Red Anodized Aluminum Stand – Durable, lightweight, and easy to spot on your workbench
  • Ideal for use in Honda GX, Clone 196cc, Predator 212, Tillotson 212, and other small block engine platforms
  • Compatible with cylinder head and piston top measurements
  • Simple to operate for quick readings during engine teardown or assembly


Use Cases:

  • Measuring piston-to-deck clearance
  • Verifying deck height during engine blueprinting
  • Calculating compression ratios more accurately
  • Checking cylinder head recess or other small part depths


Technical Specs:

  • Measurement Range: 0" – 1"
  • Graduation: 0.001"
  • Stand Material: Red anodized aluminum
  • Application: Universal for small engines and kart racing platforms


Ideal For:

  • Mini bike and go-kart engine builders
  • Karting engine blueprinting and tech inspection
  • High-performance tuning shops
  • DIY garage racers and weekend builders

FAQ

What is this dial depth gauge used for?

This analog dial depth gauge is primarily used to measure piston depth in the cylinder bore, which is crucial when calculating:

  • Deck height
  • Quench clearance
  • Combustion chamber depth
  • Compression ratio

It's also useful for other general depth measurements in small engine builds.


What engines or applications is it ideal for?

It’s ideal for:

  • Honda GX160/GX200
  • Clone 196cc
  • Predator 212
  • Tillotson 196–225
  • Wildcat, Ghost, and Ducar engines
    Perfect for mini bike and go-kart engine builders.


How accurate is the gauge?

  • Measurement range: 0–1 inch
  • Accuracy/resolution: 0.001 inch
    This makes it highly precise for engine tuning and blueprinting tasks.


What comes with the gauge?

Each unit includes:

  • 0–1" analog dial indicator
  • Bright red anodized aluminum stand
    No additional setup required—ready to use out of the box.


Why use an analog dial instead of digital?

Analog gauges:

  • Are simple and reliable (no batteries)
  • Offer instant visual feedback
  • Are preferred by many experienced engine builders for quick reads
