Question So where exactly do you measure the pistons?

We got a little sidetracked with seats, but now we're back to the engine overhaul. And we have a question for you knowledgable gentlemen.

First of all, yes we did measure with a micrometer (supposedly more accurate, but the digital caliper appears to be right bang on), but for the photo we used the caliper. I thought you'd be able to read the display, but it's hard to see.

Anyway, the question....

The instructions say to measure 'the skirt' of the piston. Where exactly is that? Are we measuring in the right place? We just keep taking measurements till we get a reading we like. :p We can get 90.85 if we try hard enough. :p
