CAUTION:
^ When any of the cylinders needs reboring, all other cylinders must be bored at the same time, and replaced with oversize pistons.
^ Do not perform boring on one cylinder only. Do not replace only a single cylinder for an oversize piston.
(2) If the cylinder inner diameter exceeds the limit after boring and honing, replace the cylinder block.
NOTE: Immediately after reboring, the cylinder diameter may differ from its real diameter due to temperature rise. Thus, when measuring the cylinder diameter, wait until it has cooled to room temperature.
