Be careful of the standard $100 style dial bore gauge. The hard ball on the tip of the anvil and plunger is so small that it can scratch/dig through the soft bearing surface. This will give you a false diameter and therefore a false bearing clearance.
Preferred would be a dial bore gauge with a more gradual radius on the anvil and plunger and a lighter spring pressure behind the plunger. Unfortunately this winds up being alot more expensive.
