Inspection and Service
Check all gasket surfaces to make sure they are free of
gasket fragments. Gasket surfaces must also be free of
deep scratches or nicks.
Inspect the main bearing (if so equipped) for wear or
or crankcase using a miniblock or short block as
required.
Check the cylinder bore for scoring. In severe cases,
cylinder wall. It washes the necessary lubricating
seeps down the cylinder wall, the piston rings make
metal to metal contact with the wall. Scoring of the
cylinder wall can also be caused by localized hot
inadequate or contaminated lubrication.
If the cylinder bore is badly scored, excessively worn,
tapered, or out-of-round, resizing is necessary. Use an
inside micrometer to determine the amount of wear
suitable oversize of either 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) or 0.50
mm (0.020 in.). Resizing to one of these oversizes will
allow usage of the available oversize piston and ring
assemblies. Initially, resize using a boring bar, then
use the following procedures for honing the cylinder.
Honing
While most commercially available cylinder hones
can be used with either portable drills or drill presses,
the use of a low speed drill press is preferred as it
facilitates more accurate alignment of the bore in
