CYLINDER BLOCK INSPECTION AND PISTON CLEARANCE
NUMBERS INDICATE THE
SUGGESTED ORDER OF
DISASSEMBLY
CRINDER BLOCK INSPECTION
1. Before inspecting, clean the cylinder block to ensure that
the water and oil holes are not plugged. If clogged, clear
with compressed
~:.
>
2. Check for cracks arid damage. Use a flaw detecting com-
pound as needed. Replace the block if defective.
3. Inspect the mating surface. Using a straight edge and
feeler gauge measure the flatness of the top surface.
Grind or replace if the limit is exceeded.
FLATNESS STANDARD VALUE: 0.0020 In {0.05 mm)
LIMIT: 0.0041n (0.1 mm)
4. Inspect the cylinder bore. Using a cylinder gauge, mea-
sure the bore at six places (as shown in the diagram).·
Calculate the difference between the max. and min. val-
ues. If worn or damaged, rebore or replace the cylinder.

CHECKING THE PISTON CLEARANCE
Calculate the difference between the minimum cylinder bore
in the thrust directitm and the piston outer diameter
~hown
in
. the illustration. If the difference exceeds the specified range,
replace the piston or cylinder bl<X?k. or rebore the cylinder.
PISTON TO CYLINDER CLEARANCE STANDARD:
0.0008- 0.0016 in (O.O • 0.04 mm)
BORING THE CYLINDER
1. Select an oversize piston based on the cylinder with the
maximum bore and maximum damage depth.
2. Using the outer diameter (at the specified measurement
point) of the selected oversize piston, calculate the boring ·
dimension.
