Inspection

INSPECTION
1. Clean cylinder block.





a. Remove gasket material
Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the top surface of the cylinder block.
b. Clean cylinder block
Using a soft brush and solvent, thoroughly clean the cylinder block.
2. Inspect top surface of cylinder block for flatness.





Using a precision straight edge and feeler gauge, measure the surfaces contacting the cylinder head gasket for warpage.

Maximum warpage: 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch)

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





3. Inspect cylinder for vertical scratches.
Visually check the cylinder for vertical scratches.
If deep scratches are present, rebore all the 4 cylinders. If necessary, replace the cylinder block.
4. Inspect cylinder bore diameter.





HINT: There are 3 sizes of the standard cylinder bore diameter, marked "1", "2" and "3" accordingly. The mark is stamped on the top of the cylinder block.





Using a cylinder gauge, measure the cylinder bore diameter at positions A, B and C in the thrust and axial directions.

Standard diameter:
Mark "1": 87.000 - 87.010 mm (3.4252 - 3.4256 inch)
