IDK, I always refer to a tenth as a tenth, being .0001. Usually for bearing bores etc. Dat grind.

This should help make it easier.

10(ten) 100(hundred) 1,000(thousand) 10,000(ten thousand) 100,000(hundred thousand)

. decimal

.1(tenth) .01(hundredth) .001(thousandth) .0001(ten thousandths) .00001(hundred thousandths)

For me, I would say this, .285 as two hundred eighty five thousandths or .0008 as eight ten thou or .00002 as, **** it... its within a couple hundred thou.

I originally read it as him picking up his shortblock and rotating assembly, as in an assembled shortblock.

Just realized it was a bare block and rotating assembly, and he will be assembling it. If that is the case, then yes he should check all clearances as he assembles it.

id just laugh at someone if they brought a print to me that called that out.

Yea i think any trained machinist would laugh if someone called a "tenth" 1 ten thousandths of an inch. Depending on the object a "tenth" is a 0.1" or a 0.0001". If your talking 'bout washers/shims a "tenth" is 0.1" or 'bout a brg clearnce its 0.0001". If u walked into a real machine shop saying 1 ten thousandths of an inch they would know your a wanna be right away and wouldnt let u touch their machines. Probably sell u a lot of work u dont need too. And charge u for work they didnt do because u wouldnt know the difference either.

Well I'm not a machinist so there's that. I'm an A&P and I've never heard it called a tenth. So color me newly informed. Although I do know enough about engines to not buy **** I don't need.
