Cylinder Block





DISTORTION OF GASKET SURFACE
- Using a straightedge and a thickness gauge, check gasket surface for distortion and, if flatness exceeds its limit, correct it.

Flatness
Standard: 0.03 mm (0.0012 inch)
Limit: 0.06 mm (0.0024 inch)

HONING OR REBATING CYLINDERS
1. When any cylinder needs reboring, all other cylinders must also be rebored at the same time.
2. Select oversized piston according to amount of cylinder wear.

Piston diameter
O/S 0.25: 74.220 - 74.230 mm (2.9220 - 2.9224 inch)
O/S 0.50: 74.470 - 74.480 mm (2.9318 - 2.9322 inch)





3. Using micrometer, measure piston diameter.
4. Calculate cylinder bore diameter to be rebored.
D = A + B - C
D: Cylinder bore diameter to be rebored.
A: Piston diameter as measured.
B: Piston clearance = 0.02 - 0.04 mm (0.0008 - 0.0015 inch)
C: Allowance for honing = 0.02 mm (0.008 inch)
5. Rebore and hone cylinder to calculated dimension.

NOTE: Before reboring, install all main bearing caps in place and tighten to specification to avoid distortion of bearing bores.

6. Measure piston clearance after honing.
