1. An inspection system for inspecting a cylinder bore, comprising:
a control system, including:
a base having a top surface and configured to move horizontally forward and backward;
an upright member extending orthogonally from the top surface of the base and configured to move vertically up and down, the upright member having a top surface;
an elongated member extending orthogonal to the upright member having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end connected to the top of the upright member, wherein the elongated member is configured to rotate;
a rotation sensor connected to the elongated member and configured to measure rotary motion of the elongated member; and
a sensor assembly connected to the distal end of the elongated member, the sensor assembly including:
a hub having a hub body and a first portion extending orthogonally from a surface of the hub body, wherein the hub is configured to rotate;
a first arm having a first end and an opposing second end, the first end of the first arm removably coupled to the first portion and the second end of the first arm extending away from the hub body;
a spring, wherein the second end of the first arm comprises a recess and wherein the recess is configured to receive and secure the spring;
a sensor holder, the sensor holder coupled to the second end of the first arm over the spring and the recess; and
a sensor, the sensor configured to inspect the cylinder bore, wherein the sensor holder is configured to hold the sensor and wherein the sensor holder is configured to move up and down in response to pressure from the spring on a first end of the sensor holder or from the sensor on a second end of the sensor holder.
