NOTE: Refer to the appropriate Engine information for the specification.
    NOTE: Use a Straightedge that is calibrated by the manufacturer to be flat within 0.005 mm (0.0002 in) per running foot of length, such as Snap-On® GA438A or equivalent. For example, if the Straightedge is 61 cm (24 in) long, the machined edge must be flat within 0.010 mm (0.0004 in) from end to end.
  1. Use a Straightedge and a Feeler Gauge Set to inspect the cylinder block for flatness.
