AMC Encore's New Engine Cylinder Gauge: Taking the Guesswork Out of Engine Repair

Overland Park, KS – October 26, 2023 – AMC Encore LLC, a leading provider of precision measurement tools, today announced the release of its brand new Engine Cylinder Gauge. Designed for mechanics, engine builders, and serious DIYers, this gauge is all about making engine repair way more accurate and, frankly, easier. AMC Encore, based right here in Overland Park, Kansas, has been quietly building a reputation for quality and reliability in the automotive tool industry for years. We're a small team, but we're obsessed with precision. We believe that good tools don’t just make a job possible, they make it better. And that's exactly what we set out to do with this new gauge. We’ve been getting feedback from mechanics for months, figuring out what they really need, and this gauge is the result. You can reach us directly at 520-265-0239 if you have any questions. So, what's the deal with this gauge? Let’s be honest: checking cylinder bore wear used to be a pain. You’d be fiddling with calipers, trying to get a consistent reading, hoping you weren’t missing anything. It was easy to make mistakes, and those mistakes could cost you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration. This new Engine Cylinder Gauge from AMC Encore changes all that. It's designed to quickly and accurately measure the internal diameter of engine cylinders, giving you the critical information you need to determine if honing, reboring, or even cylinder replacement is necessary. Here’s what makes it stand out: Super Simple to Use: Forget complex setups and tricky readings. This gauge is designed to be intuitive. Just insert it into the cylinder, and you get a direct, digital readout. Even if you're not a seasoned pro, you’ll be able to get accurate measurements in seconds. Digital Accuracy: We’re talking pinpoint precision here. The digital display eliminates any guesswork, giving you measurements down to the thousandth of an inch (or 0.001mm for our metric friends). That level of accuracy is huge when you're dealing with engine components. Wide Range of Sizes: This isn’t a one-size-fits-all tool. The gauge comes with a range of interchangeable mandrels, covering cylinder bores from a tiny 1.375 inches up to a hefty 4.0 inches. That means it'll work on everything from small motorcycle engines to big-block V8s. Durable Construction: Let's face it, shop tools take a beating. That's why we built this gauge to be tough. It's made from hardened steel and features a rugged, splash-resistant design. It can handle the rigors of daily use in even the dirtiest shop environments. Easy-to-Read Display: The large, backlit LCD display is clear and easy to read, even in low-light conditions. The display also features a convenient hold function, so you can freeze the reading and record it without having to constantly look at the gauge. Versatile Application: While it's perfect for engine rebuilds, this gauge isn’t limited to just that. You can also use it to check cylinder taper, out-of-roundness, and overall cylinder condition. It’s a valuable tool for any engine diagnosis or performance tuning. Why is accurate cylinder measurement important? Okay, let's get a little technical for a second. Worn or damaged cylinders can cause all sorts of problems, including: Loss of Compression: Worn cylinders allow combustion gases to leak past the piston rings, reducing engine power and efficiency. Increased Oil Consumption: Worn cylinders can allow oil to seep past the piston rings, leading to increased oil consumption and smoke. Difficulty Starting: Low compression can make it difficult to start the engine, especially in cold weather. Engine Knocking and Piston Slap: Excessive cylinder wear can cause the piston to rock or knock inside the cylinder, leading to engine damage. By accurately measuring cylinder bore wear, you can identify these problems early on and take corrective action before they lead to catastrophic engine failure. What mechanics are saying… We gave prototypes of this gauge to a handful of professional mechanics for testing. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. "This gauge saved me a ton of time on a recent engine rebuild," said Mark Johnson, owner of Johnson’s Automotive Repair in Phoenix, Arizona. "I used to spend ages fiddling with calipers, but this gauge gives me accurate readings in seconds. It's a game-changer." Another mechanic, Sarah Chen of Chen’s Performance Tuning in Seattle, Washington, added, "I'm really impressed with the build quality of this gauge. It's tough enough to withstand the daily abuse in my shop, and the digital display is super easy to read. I’ll be recommending it to all my colleagues.” Availability and Pricing The AMC Encore Engine Cylinder Gauge is available for purchase now through our website at [insert website address here – placeholder], as well as through select automotive tool distributors.
