Cylinder Block Reconditioning

CYLINDER BLOCK RECONDITIONING:

During engine block disassembly, be sure to mark the position and orientation of all parts as they are removed. Connecting rods, rod caps, rod bearings, pistons, main bearing caps and main bearings are assembled in an exact location and orientation.

To minimize wear during engine start-up, clean engine oil should be used to lubricate all friction surfaces during assembly.

Many of the fasteners used in the cylinder block are stretch bolts that must be replaced once loosened. Review the repair information to identify all bolts and nuts that must be replaced during cylinder block reconditioning.
