Vehicle Damage Warnings

Service limit specifications are intended to be a guide only, to be used when overhauling or reconditioning an engine or engine component. A determination can be made whether a component is suitable for continued service or should be replaced for extended service while the engine is disassembled. If the cylinder block is not inspected or assembled within 2-4 hours, of cleaning, coat the cylinder and bearing bores with engine oil to prevent rust.
