Cylinder Block - Inspection
Caution: All measurements of the cylinder block must
be made when the block is positioned on a flat surface.
If the block is mounted on the engine stand, the mea-
surements can be wrong because of distortion.
Inspect the gasket surfaces.
Visually inspect for burrs or damage.
Use an Arkansas hone or a crocus cloth to remove the
burrs.
Check the top surface of the block for wear. If fretting
damage, scratches, cracks, or corrosion deeper than 0.08
mm [0.003-inch] are present in an area where a head
gasket seal ring or a grommet makes contact, the surface
must be repaired. There must not be any defect which
extends more than 2.41 mm [0.095-inch] from the edge of
the coolant passage.
Fretting damage in any other area is acceptable if it does
not change the protrusion measurement of the counter-
bore or the cylinder liner.
Refer to the Alternative Repair Manual, Bulletin No.
3379035, for machining instructions.
Use a 610 mm [24 inches] caliper to measure the height
of the cylinder block from the main bearing bore outside
diameter to the cylinder head deck surface.

If the height of the block is less than 422.12 mm [16.619
inches], a 0.25 mm [0.010-inch] oversize head gasket
must be used.
