I found that on a Volvo engine I rebuilt (US version). The stuff on top, that you might get at on a weekend repair, was all English (maybe we don't say that anymore). Once you got inside the engine, it all turned metric.

that metric time link is funny, what a thing to get used to THAT would be.
thing that surprised me was working on a '05 Ford Ranger seemed some of it was metric (which surprised me greatly) and some is standard. jeez! i was fumbling with sockets and wrenches trying to figure out which was which. seems easier if they'd make it ALL standard or ALL metric.
b.w.

Does anybody know if Machinery's Handbook is in process of being translated
for metrics?
I hope not, but just curious to know what is happening at the shop level regarding the elitist's quest for world dominion through centimeters and ergs.
