Inspect connecting rod upper end for scoring. Inspect crankshaft rod bearing journal for wear. Inspect piston for scoring, cracks, and wear.
- Inspect piston for taper using a micrometer. Inspect piston for fit to connecting rod. Inspect engine block deck surface for flatness using a straight edge and a feeler gauge. Inspect bearing bore for concentricity and alignment using cylinder bore check gauge. Inspect engine block cylinder bore for wear, runout, ridging, and taper using a bore gauge. Inspect engine block cylinder bore for glazing. Lightly hone cylinder bore as necessary.
