Get a nice micrometer, and a set of telescoping gauges on Ebay. All mine are older Starretts. Practice measuring on a bearing race with to make sure you are consistent before measuring the engine (bearing races usually have a standard part number stamped into the side, look up the ID online).
Post 8 here has a good description of the process: http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/metrology/r…
When you use the mic, don’t run it until the thumb screw clicks. rock the gauge through the mic, progressively closing the mic until the gauge just bushes the anvil.

I love my fowler digital that reads to .00015. Very repeatable. Inexpensive too
