"BlueEyes have you ever heard of Plasti Guage?"
Oh, no! Not Plastiguage!!!
Sorry about that, still on my first cup of coffee this morning. On one of the "car forums" to which I belong (actually, a forum devoted to a particular ENGINE); a discussion arose as to the use of Plasti-guage as opposed to precision micrometers for measuring bearing clearances, etc. Turned into a verbal fist fight; with one of the "engine builder" members leaving the group entirely.
ON TOPIC: I've dry fired over a cylinder with the nipples out; but only a few times while stoning some 'grit' out of the hammer. I don't know if the hammer slaps the nipples on either of my (Pietta) Remingtons; never tried it. On the other hand, maybe a judiciously measured amount of "mushroom" on the nipples will cause Remington #11 caps fit securely on the Pietta nipples
