I been meaning to buy a thread gauge or even better, one of those boards
like they have at Lowe's that is really nice to use.  It has all sorts
of sizes and threads.  Anyway, I just keep putting it off because it is
one of those things I won't use to often but it would be nice to have. 
It'll work its way up the list eventually.

At the moment I got some good screws to mount hard drives and they won't
mess up the threads so that no screw really fits.  ;-)

:-)  :-) 

P. S.  I also replaced the crankshaft seal, timing belt, drive belts and
did some clean up from a oil leak my old car has had for a while.  While
doing that, noticed the cam cover was leaking as well.  I replaced it
too.  The old one was hard and brittle pretty much everywhere.  It was
leaking and may have been the leak instead of the crankshaft seal. I
know the camshaft seal was leaking when I replaced them a year or so
back.  Given the recent increase in temps, I also added a few ounces of
R134 to the A/C.  In the middle of that, the blood donation bus showed
up.  It's been a busy week.  I'm beat.

To figure out which thread one have, one usually use:

to get the diameter. Given the diameter, and possible the table of thread
