I'm just in the middle of building my head and it was almost impossible to measure my install height. Tried to measure it right without much luck (other brands valve micrometer, using digital calipers multiple different ways), essentially I resorted to all kinds of f***ery in desperation, with not finding any spring micrometers that fit or so I thought.

Enter the 4 pistons racing valve micrometer. Works awesome, our heads are brutal for measuring. Hopefully this helps someone out in the future, and they can skip all the time I wasted.
