Measuring Cylinder Bore Taper
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Measure the cylinder bore along the thrust surfaces, perpendicular to the crankshaft centerline, at 10 mm (0.397 in) below the deck surface and record your measurement.
- Measure the cylinder bore along the thrust surfaces, perpendicular to the crankshaft centerline, at 100 mm (3.976 in) below the deck surface and record your measurement.
- Calculate the difference between the 2 measurements. The result will be the cylinder taper.
- Compare your results with the Engine Mechanical Specifications . If the cylinder bores exceed the specifications, the engine block must be replaced.
