Cylinder Block

  1. Visually check block for scoring, rusting and corrosion. Check for cracks. Check cylinder block deck warpage. Ensure warpage does not exceed specification. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. If warpage exceeds specification, machine surface. DO NOT remove more than a combined total of .008" (0.20 mm) material from cylinder head or block gasket surfaces.
  2. Check cylinder bore wear and taper. Measure cylinder bore diameter in 3 places: .47" (11.9 mm) from top of bore, .47" (11.9 mm) from bottom of bore and near center of bore. If cylinder bore diameter or taper is not within specification, machine cylinder bore. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
