CYLINDER BORE INSPECTION
Fig. 100 Checking Cylinder Bore Size
The cylinder walls should be checked for out-of-
round and taper with Tool C119 (Fig. 100). The cyl-
inder bore out-of-round is 0.050 mm (.002 inch)
maximum and cylinder bore taper is 0.051 mm (0.002
inch) maximum. If the cylinder walls are badly
scuffed or scored, the cylinder block should be
replaced, and new pistons and rings fitted.
Measure the cylinder bore at three levels in direc-
tions A and B (Fig. 100). Top measurement should be
10 mm (3/8 in.) down and bottom measurement
should be 10 mm (3/8 in.) up from bottom of bore.
Refer to (Fig. 101) for specifications.
