Reboring Cylinder Bore
- Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston-to-bore clearance to piston diameter "A".
Rebored size calculation: D = A + B - C
D: Bored diameter
A: Piston diameter as measured
B: Piston-to-bore clearance (standard value)
C: Honing allowance 0.02 mm (0.0008 in)
- Install main bearing caps, and tighten to the specified torque. Otherwise, cylinder bores may be distorted in final assembly.
- 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.
- Hone cylinders to obtain specified piston-to-bore clearance.
- Measure finished cylinder bore for out-of-round and taper.
- Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
