Cylinder Bore Out-of-Round

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2005 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Measure the cylinder bore in 2 directions. The difference is the out-of-round. Verify the out-of-round is within the wear limit and bore the cylinder to the next oversize limit.
    • Refer to the appropriate ENGINE article for the procedure.
