Measuring Cylinder Bore Diameter
- Check the cylinder condition. Some light vertical marks may be visible on the cylinder wall. In these areas, check that the honing marks are still visible in this marked area. If they are, the cylinder surface has not been compromised and the engine block can be used.

and Engine Mechanical Specifications (LKW)
. If the cylinder diameter exceeds the specifications, replace the engine block.
