Cylinder Block

  1. Using a feeler gauge and straightedge, check cylinder block head gasket surface for warpage. Check cylinder bore for wear, taper, out-of-round and piston fit. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
    CAUTION: DO NOT machine more than .010" (.25 mm) of material from original cylinder block head surface.
  2. Install all main bearing caps and tighten to specification before honing cylinder bore. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Ensure bearing caps are installed in their original location, with arrow on cap pointing toward front of engine.
  3. 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.
