Cylinder Block

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Measure engine block while supported on work bench. Measure cylinder bore taper at 3 positions. If taper exceeds specification, re-bore cylinder for oversize pistons. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. If any cylinder bore exceeds oversize bore limit of .004" (.10 mm), replace cylinder block.
  2. Using a feeler gauge and straightedge, measure cylinder block deck warpage. Replace cylinder block if warped beyond service limit. See CYLINDER BLOCK  table.
