CYLINDER BLOCK CLEANING AND
INSPECTION
(1) Clean cylinder block thoroughly and check all
core hole plugs for evidence of leaking.
(2) If new core plugs are installed, Refer to Engine
Core Oil and Cam Plugs.
(3) Examine block and cylinder bores for cracks or
fractures.
CYLINDER BORE INSPECTION
The cylinder walls should be checked for out-of-
round and taper with Tool C-119 (Fig. 5). The cylin-
der bore out-of-round is 0.050 mm (.002 inch)
maximum and cylinder bore taper is .125 mm (.005
inch) maximum. If the cylinder walls are badly
scuffed or scored, the cylinder block should be re-
bored and honed, and new pistons and rings fitted.
Whatever type of boring equipment is used, boring
and honing operation should be closely coordinated
with the fitting of pistons and rings in order that
specified clearances may be maintained. Refer to
Honing Cylinder Bores outlined in the Standard
Service Procedures for specification and proce-
dures.
Measure the cylinder bore at three levels in direc-
tions A and B (Fig. 5). Top measurement should be
10mm ( 3/8 inch) down and bottom measurement
should be 10mm ( 3/8 inch.) up from bottom of bore.
Refer to (Fig. 6) for specifications.
SIZING PISTONS
Piston and cylinder wall must be clean and dry.
Piston diameter should be measured 90 degrees to
piston pin at size location shown in (Fig. 7). Cylinder
bores should be measured halfway down the cylinder
bore and transverse to the engine crankshaft center
line shown in (Fig. 5). Refer to (Fig. 6) for specifica-
