CYLINDER BLOCK INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT NO. 1 OIL NOZZLE SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Check the oil nozzles for damage or clogging.

      If there is damage or clogging, replace the oil nozzle.

  2. CLEAN CYLINDER BLOCK SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the top surface of the cylinder block.

    2. Using a soft brush and solvent, thoroughly clean the cylinder block.

  3. INSPECT CYLINDER BLOCK FOR WARPAGE


    1. A004NDB

      Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the warpage of the surface where the cylinder head gasket contacts the cylinder head.

      Maximum warpage
      0.05 mm (0.00197 in.)

      If the warpage is more than the maximum, replace the cylinder block.

    2. Visually check the cylinders for vertical scratches.

      If deep scratches are present, replace the cylinder block.
