Cylinder Block

  1. Visually check the cylinder block for scratch, rust and corrosion. Use a flaw detecting agent to check for cracks. If it is found faulty, repair or replace it.
  2. Measure distortion on the top surface of the cylinder block using a straight edge and thickness gauge.

    If distortion exceeds the limit, grind and repair it.

    A gasket or the like must not be adhered to the top surface of the cylinder block during measurement.

    Distortion on bottom 

    Standard value: Within 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch) 

    Limit: 0.2 mm (0.008 inch) 

    Grinding limit: 0.2 mm (0.008 inch)
