Measuring Cylinder Bore Diameter

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. 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.
