2. Measure distortion on the top surface of the
cylinder block using a straight edge and thickness
gauge.
If distortion exceeds the limit, grind and repair it.
A gasket or the like must not be adhered to the
top surface of the cylinder block during
measurement.
Distortion on bottom
Standard value: Within 0.05 mm
Limit: 0.2 mm
Grinding limit: 0.2 mm
