Cylinder Block

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2001 Ford Pickup, 2001 Ford Expedition, 2001 Ford Econoline, 2000 Ford Pickup, and 2000 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Using a feeler gauge and straightedge, inspect cylinder block deck for warpage. If not within specification, resurface or replace cylinder block. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
    CAUTION: DO NOT machine more than .010" (.025 mm) from original cylinder block head surface.
  2. Check cylinder bore diameter, out-of-round and taper. Cylinder bore is measured at 1/2" below top of cylinder block head surface and 1/2" above piston when at bottom of cylinder bore.
    3. CAUTION: Before boring cylinder block, install main bearing caps and tighten bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . This prevents main bearing bores from being distorted when cylinder block is bored.
  3. Bore cylinder block if measurements are not within specification. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table.
