It's been a while since I initially posted this search for wisdom. Since that time I decided to take another crack at it by sacrificing a brand new Pressure Seal to get a vertical split view in order to put my most accurate measuring tools to it. I took a razor blade to it and split it down the middle. I was just hoping that the 3D scanning technology had evolved enough to make it practical to scan such a small part. It appears that for my particular needs, it's still to far out of the financial realm. At least that's what it seems like when deduced from the few replies I've gotten on this thread.
I am grateful for those who took the time to reply at all and I did learn a few things.

From the sounds of it you were after a measurement accuracy orders of magnitude higher than normal, but you do realise that in slicing the part in two, you've potentially exposed internal stresses or flex that may skew the measured results, given the extremely high degree of resolution you were after?
