I just did the rear diff oil in my garage (with the door open) and it still smells. And that oil was 45,000 mile oil and not that bad.

7:47 Smaller than an Inch in car use would be just fractions of an Inch - down to Thousandths of an Inch (feeler guages). There is the 3 barleycorns thing, but I've never seen it used in car manuals - although the oldest manual I used was only 1955. Metric based on the metre goes centimetre (hundredths of a metre) and Millimetre (thousandths of a metre). Below that is Micrometre (millionth of a meter). I never knew micrometres existed until I supported computers in a lab 20 years ago - before that I would use metric down to 1mm, then swap to thousandths of an inch haha. It was a joke in our family to use both measurements together 3" 2mm etc when working out gestimations on projects. That broken diff part needs to go onto the 'wall of learnings' 😆When my parents raced in the 80's - they had their 'first rod to go through the block' plated and mounted on to a wooden mount with '1986' engraved on it. First snapped camshaft (1982) - I still have both. The first block that got a rod through it is still down in the shed - I am tempted to make a table out of it - if I ever get round to digging it out. Superb episode as always!

@garyeade5184 Ай бұрын

Are you going to check the gearbox when you get the diff sorted? Steve morris's car sugar momma broke the diff almost identically to yours before they gave it away and when they were fixing it they reckon you always change the box after a breakage like that because the stresses to it when the diff lets go damages the internals and there will be problems not long after you start racing again.

@TheBadboy9ish Ай бұрын

For fine measurements like machining the imperial system literally uses fractions of an inch instead of actually going any smaller. You actually see it in a lot of mechanics tools (1/4", 3/8" drive etc.) but imperial dial indicators will use thousandths or even ten-thousandths of an inch.

@ChristopherHallett Ай бұрын

Benny already knows that. He's pointing out the difference where metric has millimetres after centimetres, whereas imperial just stops at inches and doesn't have a whole unit any smaller.

7:47 it's a grain of barley. Not even kidding. The worst part is that Americans don't know that the imperial system is now metric-based for uniformity.

@JimOHalloran Ай бұрын

I had head of grains being used for measurement before, but using them length was new to me. So I looked it up, and you're 100% right. The traditional base unit of the imperial system is the Barleycorn and there are 3 Barleycorns to the inch (which makes a Barleycorn 8.47 mm science). There's also the "line", which is 1/4 of a Barleycorn or 1/12th of an inch (2.12 mm science). In modern engineering, the "thou" (thousandths of an inch) is more commonly used.

My Grandfather tried to drum into me all the old imperial measurements like chains, perches, pecks and hogsheads. A well-intentioned "You'll need it one day son." My other Grandfather taught me how to handset printing type using a stick like the Gutenberg Bible. Those measurements were in ems and picas. So much obsolete information now.

@cjm5002 Ай бұрын

So many comments of people misunderstanding the question of "smaller than an inch". No there isn't one used, in imperial. You get inch, everything else is just a division of it. Way back in the days before there were several other odd ones. My favorite part is all the metric duders dont even realize that you cant have metric without imperial. . . every single ratchet in the world has an imperial based drive.

Ouch. New paperweight. (In the US) Every car that I've ever had, since 87', has been metric. If you're a car guy, you know metric. A quart is darn near a liter. (Within 5.3%) Well except for Centigrade. 0 freezing, 100 boiling. 2xC+32 gets me close enough to Fahrenheit to make sense of it.

@richardallen1629 Ай бұрын

Benny, you would know thou is a smaller unit than inch, but prolly forgot because it actually sounds bigger. Imperial logic ftw.

@davidcombs8458 Ай бұрын

If you’re in the US and have a vehicle made in Europe or Asia and the service manual gives you metric measurements, expect to have to translate those into thousandths of an inch for your machine shop. I learned that machinists, at least here in the US, only use thousandths of an inch.

@aSinisterKiid Ай бұрын

We do have measurements smaller than 1 inch and its usually in 10ths or 20ths of an inch. Often it's spoken in fractions like 1/8th and 1/10th of an inch, or a quarter of an inch and half inch. And then for stuff smaller we get down into 10ths and 100ths of an inch like .7 is 7 tenths of an inch (or 1/14th) and .07 is 7 hundredths of an inch. And then when you get into the real small stuff you are looking at .005 thousandths.

@gedavids84 Ай бұрын

smaller units than Inch - thous (thousandths of an inch) aka mils (if you're an EE), tenths (ten thousandths of an inch), eighths (of an inch), sixteenths (of an inch) or you can use "metricated" inches e.g. 0.125" is an eighth of an inch.

@jamwaffles Ай бұрын

In the machining world the next unit down is the thousandth of an inch (1/1000) or a "thou". Then you get a "tenth" which is, of course, one ten-thousandth of an inch (1/10,000) and not 1/10. You'll never guess what's next. That's right, a "10 millionth"! Of course! Someone painted themselves into a corner with that one. And all this is defined as 1 inch = exactly 25.4mm so it's all pointless lol. Anyway, I'll let everyone in the colonies get on with chewing on their letter-sized drill bits...
