Cylinder Block

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1999 Acura 3.0CL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Measure cylinder bore taper. If taper exceeds specification, re-bore cylinder for oversize pistons. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. If any cylinder bore exceeds oversize bore limit, replace cylinder block.
  2. Cylinders can be bored for 0.010" (0.25 mm) and 0.020" (0.50 mm) oversize pistons. Check piston-to-cylinder bore clearance after boring. See FITTING PISTONS .
  3. Using feeler gauge and straightedge, measure cylinder block deck for warpage. Replace cylinder block if warped beyond service limit. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
  4. If reusing cylinder block, hone cylinders to 60-degree crosshatch pattern. After honing, re-measure cylinder bores. Wash cylinder bore with hot soapy water. Air-dry cylinder bore, and apply engine oil to prevent rusting.
