The worst block I have ever surfaced!!

[Doubleot]

Thats intense. Can't believe you actually brought it back.

I think its important to mention most people think .0012 when you say 12 thousandths. He took .012 off, thats a hole different ball game of material taken off



Lucky you, with this guy working on cars, he should keep you in business.

twelve thousandths = .012
twelve ten-thousands= .0012

 

[ThunderChild]

Haha I guess we now achieved a piston sticking out of the deck.

, my 7mge (toyota supra motor) is actually a positive deck piston motor. i believe after milling, my pistons sit .024" above deck (stock is .020).

the owner should have just sprayed the head gasket with a couple cans of copper spray. maybe the block and head too. then let it set up overnight and bam! bolt it together in the morning.

copper spray FTW!

twelve thousandths = .012
twelve ten-thousands= .0012

twelve thousandths = 0.0012
twelve ten thousandths (which is incorrect anyways)= 0.0120
.10 one tenths of an inch

0.010 one hundred of an inch

0.001 one thousandths of an inch

 

[Tyeler18]

.10 one tenths of an inch

0.010 one hundred of an inch

0.001 one thousandths of an inch

Ignore, I was reading it wrong.

 

[born2tune]

either way I hate trying to talk about thousandths and its positioning, it hurts my head

no wait I just read your numbers, im sure thats wrong, 0.010 is not ten thousandths of an inch its ten hundredths of an inch, meaning it will take 100 0f 0.010 to make an inch, if you use ten thousandths as 0.010 you would have to multiply 0.010 ten thousand times, which gives you:100 inches not 1 inch which is the global standard.
ten thousandths of an inch would be 0.0001 which is immeasurable physically.

1 inch x 1 = 1.0

0.10 one tenth, x 10 = 1.0

0.01 one hundredths, x 100 = 1.0

0.001 one thousandths , x 1000= 1.0

0.0001 one ??? My brain is fried at this point because I dont know what to call this. someone help

No that is 12 thousandths

.10 one tenths of an inch
correct. and 1/10 of 1000 is 100. so .100 is one hundred thousandths.

0.010 one hundred of an inch
correct, but machinists use thousands, so that is ten thousandths.

0.001 one thousandths of an inch
correct

correct. and the last one is one ten thousandth

 

[Purple_Demon]

See...When I was really into Hondas, this is what alot of us would call a "Dumb Mother F****r"......

And to think I felt guilty for using an sos pad to take carbon deposits off.....

Great thread Bogus, entertaining to say the least

 

[phunny]

Great thread

As far as you guys talking crap on what Honda guys do...? Guess you're new to DSM'ers

 

[GSLENK]

correct. and the last one is one ten thousandth

... as a math major seeing this.... hahahah

just keep it simple let the calculator figure it out for ya

1 hundredth = 1/100 = .01 = ten thousandths (.010) = a hundred ten-thousandths (.0100). They do not simplify or equal each other in the real world, (only on paper they are =) because you are talking about significant digits, or precision, usually dictated by the measuring device.

the first number is the top (numerator) and the second, (the ----ths #) is the bottom. divide and whala, no more confusion.

The beauty of the metric system is that that ugly 1/10,000 -or- .0001 is simply "100 micrometers" I suppose you could always adapt English units, milli-inches, microinches. one ten thousandth inch becomes 100 micro-inches . Since inches ARE a unit, technically this could be correct. WTF

YES! I move a vote to use the metric prefixes.

 

[BogusSVO]

Want it to be a bit more confusing????

Listen to the machinist speak... proper math terms go out the window once you are 3 numbers to the right of the decimal.

.0016 would be said as 'A thousdath and six tenths"

Or " This crank is a tad tight on the clearance, polish another 2 tenths off." Meaning .0002
