  4. Use the J 8087  gauge and measure the cylinder bore for oversize.

    Slide the bore gauge up and down throughout the length of the cylinder bore. Measure the bore, both parallel and perpendicular to the centerline of the crankshaft, at the top, center and bottom of the bore. A cylinder bore that exceeds the maximum diameter must be serviced with an oversized piston.
