Cylinder Block

  1. Using straightedge and feeler gauge, check entire cylinder head surface of cylinder block. Ensure warpage does not exceed .006" (.15 mm). If warpage exceeds specification, cylinder block surface can be machined a maximum of .008" (.20 mm).
  2. Replace cylinder block if it needs to be machined more than .008" (.20 mm). Check cylinder bore for wear, out-of-round, taper and piston fit. See CYLINDER BORE SPECIFICATIONS  table. Oversize pistons are available in .010" and .020" (.25 mm and .50 mm).
