Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dial indicators are precise measuring tools used to measure small distances or angles, and they are commonly used in mechanical engineering and machining. They can accurately measure crankshaft end play (A), camshaft out-of-round (B), and valve lift (D) because these involve linear measurements or deviations from a specific plane or axis. However, valve clearance (C) is typically measured with feeler gauges or similar tools designed to fit between two components (like a valve stem and rocker arm) to measure the gap directly, making dial indicators not suitable for this specific measurement.
