Could you possibly mean...

.028
.030

28 thousandths
30 thousandths


Barnyard BOb --


My apologies. I don't use a micrometer much and every time I do I
have to study and learn it over and over again.

I sympathize, since I did use a micrometer for many years. g

I meant to say that the cylinders were rough bored to twenty eight
thousandths over, then honed to the final size which incorporated the
sixty thousandths piston clearance.

If that's .060" clearance, then that's what I meant to say.

To throw you another curve....
I'm thinking your piston clearance is really .006 or 6 thousandths.
Clare or Bruce may be chiming in on this one. g

I always read those numbers as first place to the right of the decimal
as tenths, second hundredths and third place thousandths.

So is .060" reading 6 hundredths, or 60 thousandths. Or are they the
same? It's always been a mystery to me.

600 ten thousandths
60 thousandths
6 hundredths
..6 tenths....

All the same thing.
