CYLINDER BLOCK INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
CLEAN CYLINDER BLOCK SUB-ASSEMBLY
Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the top surface of the cylinder block.
Using a soft brush and solvent, thoroughly clean the cylinder block.
Note:If the cylinder is washed at high temperatures, the cylinder liner sticks out beyond the cylinder block. Always wash the cylinder block at a temperature of 45°C (113°F) or less.
INSPECT CYLINDER BLOCK FOR WARPAGE
-
Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the warpage of the surfaces which contact the cylinder head gaskets.
Maximum warpage
0.05 mm (0.00197 in.)
If the warpage is more than the maximum, replace the cylinder block.
Visually check the cylinder for vertical scratches.
If deep scratches are present, replace the cylinder block.
