RE-Boring Cylinder Bore

Re-boring Cylinder Bore
1. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston to cylinder bore clearance to piston skirt diameter.
Re-bored size calculation: D = A + B - C where,
D: Bored diameter A: Piston skirt diameter as measured
B: Piston to cylinder bore clearance (standard value)
C: Honing allowance 0.02 mm (0.0008 inch)
2. Install main bearing caps and main bearing, and tighten to the specified torque. Otherwise, cylinder bores may be distorted in final assembly.
3. Cut cylinder bores.

NOTE:
^ When any cylinder needs boring, all other cylinders must also be bored.
^ Do not cut too much out of cylinder bore at a time. Cut only 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch)or so in diameter at a time.

4. Hone cylinders to obtain the specified piston to cylinder bore clearance.
5. Measure finished cylinder bore for the out-of-round and taper.

NOTE: Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
