Default Stroke length

Can you measure the stroke with the jugs and heads off . By measuring the depth of the piston?

If you are talking about your attached picture, it looks like the jugs are on, and obviously the heads are off

His fingers are being used to just hold the caliper. He's using it as a depth gauge...indicating 4-3/8 depth (4.375), in this case also "stroke"
