Cylinder Block

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Ford Ranger, 1997 Ford Explorer, 1996 Ford Ranger, and 1996 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    CAUTION: DO NOT machine more than .010" (.25 mm) of material from original cylinder-to-block head surface.
  1. Using a feeler gauge and straightedge, check cylinder block head gasket surface for warpage. Check cylinder bore for wear, taper, out-of-round and piston fit. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. Install all main bearing caps and tighten to specification before honing cylinder bore. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  table. Ensure bearing caps are installed in their original location, with arrow on cap pointing toward front of engine.
  3. Use ONLY a spring-loaded 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.
