Cylinder Bore - Taper

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mazda Tribute and 2002 Mazda Tribute. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Measure the cylinder bore at the top and bottom. Verify the cylinder bore is within the wear limit. Refer to SPECIFICATIONS . The difference indicates the cylinder bore taper. Bore the cylinder to the next oversize.
