You really ought to be getting some precision measuring stuff... Granted, you can feel a ring groove, but you can't feel a hole that is out of round by 1/1000 inch. When I tore my Jag engine apart, I found that all the cylinders were about 5/1000 longer than they were wide. Easily enough to screw an engine, but definitely not enough to feel by hand...

You'd probably be OK with either engine the way they are, but as long as you ahve it all apart, you might as well take some exact measurements.
