Squareness of the Silver Bullet????

You know I just don't feel my silver bullet is perfectly square. I know for a fact that one of the ends isn't but that wouldn't effect drilling but I do know that when I measure across from one Pin Valley to another I get a different reading from end to another.

front Valley= (r 1.723 and L 1.730 inches) and back Valley (R 1.725 L 1.726). Is this acceptable? Do my tires roll out rolling forward and back? Yes, but it thinks /acts like it once to roll into the body in one of the directions I believe! lol

Anyone else mic theirs out? Or any true Machinists check these out?

Thanks
 
Measured mine. It is square, within 1/1000th of an inch anyway. I have to ask, are you holding your calipers in the same orientation when measuring? When I was measuring my SB, I had to pay close attention on make sure the the calipers were perfectly parallel to the dimension I was measuring. If they were slightly askew, my readings would vary. I did not attempt to measure the width between the grooves at each end of the block (where the pin rests to elevate one side of the block); my calipers will not seat in the groove where I would consider the readings to be accurate. I only measured across flat surfaces. Food for thought.

Or it could be defective...
 
Yes, I checked then double checked but I measured in the V of the valley because that's where your pin will sit!
