Measuring Cylinder Bore Out-of-Round
- Measure both the thrust and non-thrust cylinder diameter at 12 mm (0.472 in) below the deck. Record your measurements.
- Calculate the difference between the 2 measurements. The result will indicate out-of-round at the upper end of the cylinder.
- Measure both the thrust and non-thrust cylinder diameter at 127 mm (5.001 in) below the deck surface. Record your measurements.
- Calculate the difference between the 2 measurements. The result will indicate out-of-round at the lower end of the cylinder.
- Compare your results with the Engine Mechanical Specifications (L84) , or Engine Mechanical Specifications (L87) . If the cylinders exceed these specifications, the engine must be replaced.
