Reboring Cylinder Bore

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Nissan Altima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston-to-bore clearance to piston diameter "A".
    1. Rebored size calculation: D = A + B - C 
    2. D: Bored diameter 
    3. A: Piston diameter as measured 
    4. B: Piston-to-bore clearance (standard value) 
    5. C: Honing allowance 0.02 mm (0.0008 in) 
  2. Install main bearing caps, and tighten to the specified torque. Otherwise, cylinder bores may be distorted in final assembly.
  3. Cut cylinder bores.
    • When any cylinder needs boring, all other cylinders must also be bored. 
    • Do not cut too much out of cylinder bore at a time. Cut only 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or so in diameter at a time. 
  4. Hone cylinders to obtain specified piston-to-bore clearance.
  5. Measure finished cylinder bore for out-of-round and taper.
    • Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
