This method doesn't work out with an odd number of grooves.
As you likely know, the small hole gage takes a dimension across two points at 180 degrees from each other - and with am odd number of grooves that dimension would be land-to-groove, not land-to-land or groove-to-groove.

Taking a measurement of the bore diameter with pin gages (which will get you very close to that number), then measuring with a small hole gage can get you very close to the actual groove diameter but it will take a bit of math to get you there.
