Bore Measuring Tools
Engine displacement is a major factor in many racing classes, but can be a bit difficult to measure. As such, tech inspectors usually only check it on suspicion of cheating. Bore-measuring tools are long rods that the inspector slides through the spark plug hole. After it goes into the bore, a pair of spring-loaded arms open, stop against the walls and give the inspector a bore measurement. Stroke is a bit more difficult to measure on engines that don't use a centrally-mounted spark plug. For tracks that don't have a specialized stroke-checker, tech inspectors will often insert a length of wire into the cylinder through the plug hole so that its bottom rests on the piston. The inspector will then turn the engine over by hand and mark the wire with a marker at its highest and lowest points. The distance between the two marks will give the inspector some indication of the stroke. It's not an exact method since the method measures the bore's diagonal distance instead of its vertical distance. However, it's close enough that the inspector may warrant an oil pan removal for closer inspection.

Small Hole Gauge
Small hole gauges work by being inserted into the cylinder, then expanded until it reaches the edges of the cylinder. When the expanded gauge is removed, its diameter should be the same as that of the cylinder.
There out there, I have see them at many races, they are a scissor type gauge, works really well for a quick check!
Wahl Bros sells them
