- Inspect cylinder block for cracks, warpage, bore taper and out-of-round. Replace or repair cylinder block if not within specification.
- Measure piston skirt diameter with temperature of 68°F (20°C). Piston skirt diameter should be measured at 90 degree angle to piston pin at designated distanced from bottom of piston skirt.
- Measure at .787" (19.98 mm) for XT Coupe and non-turbo models or 1.059" (26.90 mm) on turbo models. Clearance between piston and cylinder bore must be within specification. See ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS tables.
