Cylinder Block

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Measure cylinder bore out-of-round and taper. If either out-of-round or taper exceeds 0.002" (0.05 mm), bore cylinder for oversize pistons. If any cylinder exceeds oversize bore service limit, replace cylinder block. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. If cylinder bore is okay, hone cylinder to obtain a 60-degree crosshatch pattern. After honing, wash cylinder bore with hot soapy water. Air-dry cylinder bore, and apply engine oil to prevent rusting. Using a feeler gauge and straightedge, measure cylinder block deck surface warpage. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
