Have you ever tried Plastigauge? It's a pain with our engines, but it works. 
Alternatively, clearances that are huge should be easily measurable with a 
caliper and clearances that are too tight should be easily noticable when you 
try to turn the crank after tightening the case around it.

OTOH, the scars left by a bore gauge are probably completely superficial 
and ignorable. The spring force behind them probably varies by brand.
