Cylinder Bore - Taper

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Measure the cylinder bore at the top, middle and bottom of piston ring travel in two directions as indicated. Verify the cylinder bore is within the wear limit. The difference indicates the cylinder bore taper. Bore the cylinder to the next oversize.
    • Refer to appropriate ENGINE article for the procedure.
