Cylinder Bore

1. Note: The main bearing caps or lower crankcase must be in place and tightened to the specified torque; however, the bearing shells should not be installed.





Measure the cylinder bore with an internal micrometer.
^ Carry out the measurements in different directions and at different heights to determine if there is any out-of-roundness or tapering.
^ If the measurement is out of the specified range, install a new block or hone out the cylinder block (if applicable/allowed).
