Measuring Cylinder Bore Taper
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Measure the cylinder bore along the thrust surfaces, perpendicular to the crankshaft centerline, at 10 mm (0.394 in) below the deck surface (1) and record your measurement.
- Measure the cylinder bore along the thrust surfaces, perpendicular to the crankshaft centerline, at 125 mm (4.921 in) below the deck surface (2) and record your measurement.
- Calculate the difference between the 2 measurements. The result will be the cylinder taper.
- Compare your results with the Engine Mechanical Specifications . If the cylinders exceed the specifications, replace the engine block.
