Cylinder Block Assembly: Testing and Inspection




Checking cylinder bores

Special tools and equipment
Internal dial gauge 50 to 100 mm






Measure bores at 3 locations in both directions -A- across the engine and -B- in line with crankshaft.

Deviation from nominal dimension max. 0.08 mm

Note: Measuring the cylinder bores must not be done when the cylinder block is mounted on a repair stand with adapter bracket VW 540, as incorrect measurements would then be possible.
