Reboring Cylinder Bore
1. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston-to-bore clearance to piston diameter "A".






2. Install main bearing caps, and tighten them to the specified torque. Otherwise, cylinder bores may be distorted in final assembly.
3. Cut the cylinder bores.

NOTE:
- When any cylinder needs boring, all other cylinders must also be bored.
