Cylinder Block

  1. Using a feeler gauge and straightedge, check cylinder block head gasket surface for warpage. DO NOT machine more than .010" (.25 mm) from original gasket surface. Check cylinder bore for wear, taper, out-of-round and piston fit. Machine or replace as necessary. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. Install all main bearing caps and tighten to specification before honing cylinder bore. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Use only a spring-loaded type cylinder hone. After honing, thoroughly clean bore with detergent and water solution. Rinse solution from bore thoroughly with clean water. Wipe bore clean with lint free cloth. Lubricate cylinder bores with engine oil.
