Cylinder Block
- Measure cylinder block deck surface warpage. Service limit is 0.004" (0.10 mm). Measure cylinder bore out-of-round and taper. If either out-of-round or taper exceeds 0.002" (0.05 mm), bore cylinder for oversize pistons. If any cylinder exceed oversize bore service limit, replace cylinder block. See CYLINDER BLOCK table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
- If cylinder block is okay, hone cylinders to obtain a 60-degree crosshatch pattern. After honing, wash cylinder bores with hot soapy water. Air-dry cylinder bores, and apply engine oil to prevent rusting.
