Cylinder Block

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1992 Mercury Tracer, 1992 Ford Escort, 1991 Mercury Tracer, and 1991 Ford Escort. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Using a straightedge and feeler gauge, check cylinder block head surface warpage. Surface cylinder block if warpage exceeds specification. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table in ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS at end of article.
    CAUTION: DO NOT machine more than .010" (.25 mm) of material from original cylinder block head surface.
  2. Check cylinder bore diameter, out-of-round and taper. Cylinder bore is measured 1/2" below top of cylinder block head surface and 1/2" from bottom of cylinder bore. Cylinder block must be bored if not within specification. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table in ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS at end of article.
CAUTION: If cylinder block must be bored, ensure main bearing caps are installed and bolts are tightened to specification. This prevents main bearing bores from being distorted when boring cylinder block.
