Cylinder Block

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 1995 Ford RV Cutaway, 1995 Ford Pickup, 1995 Ford F-Super Duty, 1995 Ford Econoline, and 1995 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check cylinder bore for wear, taper, out-of-round and piston fit. Using a feeler gauge and straightedge, check cylinder block deck surface for warpage. If deck surface warpage exceeds specification, resurface cylinder block. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. Install all main bearing caps and tighten to specification before boring or honing cylinder bore. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Ensure bearing caps are installed in their original location.
  3. Use ONLY a flexhone type cylinder hone. After honing, thoroughly clean bore with detergent and water solution. Rinse solution from bore thoroughly with clean water. Wipe bore clean with lint-free cloth. Lubricate cylinder bores with engine oil.
