Do not bore, hone, grind or rework the cylinder bores with workshop tools. Reworking damages the surface of the cylinder bore.

If large quantities of metal particles or abraded material are detected during engine repairs, it may mean the crankshaft or rod bearings are damaged. To prevent further damage, perform the following steps after the repair:

Clean the oil passages.

Replace the oil spray jets.

Replace the oil cooler.

Replace the oil filter.
