CYLINDER BLOCK INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. CLEAN CYLINDER BLOCK SUB-ASSEMBLY


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

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

      Note

      If the cylinder is washed at high temperatures, the cylinder liner sticks out beyond the cylinder block sub-assembly. Always wash the cylinder block sub-assembly at a temperature of 45°C (113°F) or less.

  2. INSPECT CYLINDER BLOCK FOR FLATNESS


    1. B003PVP

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

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

      Tech Tips


      • If replacing a bearing, replace it with one that has the same number.

      • If the number of the bearing cannot be determined, select the correct bearing by adding together the numbers imprinted on the cylinder block and crankshaft, then refer to the table below for the appropriate bearing number.

        Example: Cylinder block "11" (A) + Crankshaft "06" (B) = Total number 17 (Use bearing "3")

      • There are 5 sizes of standard bearings, marked "1", "2", "3", "4" and "5" accordingly.
