Measuring Cylinder Bore Out-of-Round
- Measure both the thrust and non-thrust cylinder diameter at 10 mm (0. 397 in) below the deck. Record your measurements.
- Calculate the difference between the 2 measurements. The result will indicate out-of-round at the upper end of the cylinder.
- Measure both the thrust and non-thrust cylinder diameter at 100 mm (3. 976 in) below the deck surface. Record your measurements.
- Calculate the difference between the 2 measurements. The result will indicate out-of-round at the lower end of the cylinder.
- Compare your results with the Engine Mechanical Specifications (L5Q) , or Engine Mechanical Specifications (LV7) . If the cylinder bores exceed these specifications, the engine block must be replaced.
