am i ever gonna mic my pistons or rings w/anything chinese? on anything i own? when hell freezes over!
i'd love to see how long my barrels/pistons/rings on my husqvarnas would last on a nice 115-120 degree day @ 50-1 golden spectro mix!!!!
cant wait to hear 6 months a year from now all the sniveling about "how i blew my motor". and the "blaming" on crappy parts. not the real fact that tolerances were not held to factory specs.
at garrett aviation.........you know that lil old company now known as honeywell............every new mechanic/machinist was given a tooling list. that tooling list could be bought at garrett industrial supply or off campus. not one (1) tool was chinese. nor would any be allowed. PERIOD! if your mics/calipers/dial bore gauges/I.D. mics/ anything were used and/or new they ALL WENT TO CALIBRATION...........PERIOD!
then........at anytime a tolerance was not held by Q.C. dept on a part. (multiple checks and rechecks on every part), the offending mechanic/machinist was summoned to calibration for check of tools. ask me how i know...........i worked in the tool crib ! and i sold tooling for the better part of my life. god help you if you dropped a tool and continued working w/it!!!!!!
you should have heard them SCREAM BLOODY MURDER when mitutoyo started making inroads w/their precision tools. it was damn near a riot. garrett spec'ed starrett("get your starrett from garrett") and employees liked the japanese competition and price. my how times have changed. used to be bridgeports were the porsche turbo of mills. nowadays the japanese have smoked the U.S. in precision tools and machines. why? same reason hardly davidson had to go to the land of the rising sun to figure out precision assembly lines. quality! and repeatability! cost!
but just a little hint...........using non calibrated tools............is GONNA COST YOU ALOT OF BUCKS ON YOUR P-CAR MTR. down the road. gosh i wonder if porsche a.g. uses harbor freight tools in their machine shops and assembly lines???? bet you my paycheck its smothered in KRUPP / KOMET/ and SANDVIK TOOLING!
