CAUTION: When any of the cylinders needs reboring, all other cylinders must be bored at the same time, and replace to oversize pistons.

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.
