Inspection (1.3L)

  1. Thoroughly clean and check gasket mating surface of cylinder head and block. Check cylinder for cracks, nicks, burrs or damage. Using a straightedge and feeler gauge, check warpage over entire gasket area. Ensure cylinder head and/or block warpage does not exceed .006" (.15 mm).
  2. If warpage exceeds .006" (.15 mm), machine cylinder head and/or block gasket surface. Maximum machining allowed is .008" (.20 mm). If more machining is required, replace block and/or cylinder head.
