Cylinder Bore Taper

  1. Measure the cylinder bore at the top, middle and bottom of piston ring travel in 2 directions as indicated. Verify the cylinder bore is within the wear limit. The difference indicates the cylinder bore taper. Bore the cylinder to the next oversize limit.
    • Refer to the appropriate article in ENGINE for the procedure.
