Cylinder Bore
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Dodge Magnum, 2008 Dodge Charger, and 2008 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The cylinder bores should be measured at normal room temperature, 21°C (70°F).
The cylinder walls should be checked for out-of-round and taper with Tool C119 cylinder bore gauge, or equivalent. See Fig 1. See SPECIFICATIONS . If the cylinder walls are badly scuffed or scored, the cylinder block should be replaced, and new pistons and rings fitted.
Measure the cylinder bore at three levels in directions A and B. See Fig 1. Top measurement should be 10 mm (3/8 in.) down and bottom measurement should be 10 mm (3/8 in.) up from bottom of bore. See SPECIFICATIONS .
