Cylinder Block
- Measure cylinder bore taper. If taper exceeds .002" (.05 mm), rebore cylinder for oversize pistons. If measurements in any cylinder exceed oversize bore service limit, replace cylinder block. See CYLINDER BLOCK table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
- Using a feeler gauge and straightedge, inspect cylinder block deck surface for warpage. Service limit is .004" (.10 mm). If cylinder bore is okay, hone cylinder to obtain a 60-degree cross-hatch pattern. After honing, wash cylinder bore with hot soapy water. Air dry cylinder bore, and apply engine oil to prevent rusting.
