Measuring Cylinder Bore Taper

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Measure the cylinder bore along the thrust surfaces, perpendicular to the crankshaft centerline, at 10 mm (0.397 in) below the deck surface and record your measurement.
  2. Measure the cylinder bore along the thrust surfaces, perpendicular to the crankshaft centerline, at 100 mm (3.976 in) below the deck surface and record your measurement.
  3. Calculate the difference between the 2 measurements. The result will be the cylinder taper.
  4. Compare your results with the Engine Mechanical Specifications . If the cylinder bores exceed the specifications, the engine block must be replaced.
