rebuilding motor tools

[reckless]

gonna rebuild a bf90 next year sometime
im stuck when it comes to calipers and micrometers
measuring crankshaft journals with a micrometer is what ive seen so far but what about a venier caliper? whats the diference in measuring with either?
and manual or electric whats the pros and cons or manual vs the electric meters?

From my experience of repairing car engines I can say: If something is bad you will see it. If crancshaft is dead you will see in a sec. Of course it is smarter to measure everything. Good luck.
