All the same thing.

When talking about inches, all that stuff you wrote equals 60 mils
which is a heck of a lot easier to say than "60 thousandths of an
inch". Heck, I can't even say the word "thousandths" with any degree
of clarity unless I say it really really slow. There ought to be a
law against such words.

For the record, one mil = 1/1000 of an inch.

And yes, Bob, you are surely correct about the 30 mil overbore and 6
mil piston/cylinder clearance.
