Cylinder Block

  1. Using a feeler gauge and straightedge, inspect cylinder block deck surface for warpage. If not within specification, resurface or replace cylinder block. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. DO NOT remove more than .010" (.25 mm) material from block deck.
  2. Measure cylinder bore out-of-round and taper. If out-of-round or taper exceeds specification, rebore cylinder for oversize piston. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table. If cylinder bore is okay, lightly hone cylinder to a cross-hatch pattern.
