[Public-List] Looking for a used Atmoic 4

[Elaine & Brian Timmins]

Michael,
   No, you don't use thread count to measure top of block milling. It is 
used to check for corrosion wear in the water jacket from the inside to the 
outside. The head studs go through the top surface of the block into the 
water jacket.
