Have you ever asked your tech inspector for (HIS) certification? Just because he has tech tools and a tech manual doesn't make him certified. Just sayin!!!!
Had a guy tell me one nite if I ever tore him down he would never come back, my response was (see ya).

Well there you go. They found out the real singer was somebody else on that song. Did your big name engine builder really build your motor or a hired hand........

Very good point, how many times do you think the sheetmetal with the builders name has been put on somebody elses motor? Decals don't make it legal either.

Good point, Paul.
What is acceptable quality of gauge to be used in tech barn? I think we all agree that HF tools leave a lot to be desired in the quality department.
Consider though, that even the cheaper brands come with a "certificate" of calibration (for what it's worth.)
This is why you want to back up all of your measurements with a second set of gauges (preferably from another tech man or the track's gauges.) Two gauges from different sources backing up the same measurement in the tech barn sure seem more definitive/convincing than a single test from a single source.

I've found Mitutoyo to be far better than Starret.

I've also found an old pair of Napa plastic calipers to be more accurate than my dropped Mitutoyos.

Amazing, a piece of junk is better than something that's broken. Who'd of thought?I've also found an old pair of Napa plastic calipers to be more accurate than my dropped Mitutoyos.

This is a common practice in the QA/QC world. I am required to have my near and far vision checked and certified annually. I also have to be tested to ensure I am not color blind. Your eye doctor can certify you.
Most "credentials" can be "forged", "counterfeited" or "created" by most anyone with a computer and printer.
