Measure the cylinder bore diameter 37 mm (1.457 in) from the deck face using the J 8087:  gage.

Compare your results with the Engine Mechanical Specifications (LY7) or Engine Mechanical Specifications (LCS) . If the cylinder diameter exceeds the specifications, the cylinder block may be oversized to 0.25 mm (0.010 in). There is only one size of oversized pistons and rings available for service.
