Cylinder Block
Inspection of Camshaft Bushing and Bores
1. Measure the I.D. of the front bushing and the
remaining bores in the cylinder block. Record 
the measurements. See Camshaft on page 6-7 
for specifications.
If the camshaft bushing is not within specification, 
replace using the appropriate service tool. If the 
remaining bores are not within specification, the 
cylinder block will require replacement as there are 
no bearing inserts used.
Inspection of Idler Gear and Shaft
1. Measure the outside diameter
(Figure 6-80, (1)) of the idler gear shaft 
(Figure 6-80, (2)). Record the measurements. 
See Idler Gear Shaft and Bushing on page 6-8 
for specifications.
2. Measure the inside diameter (Figure 6-80, (3))
of the idler gear bushing (Figure 6-80, (4)). 
Record the measurements. See Idler Gear 
Shaft and Bushing on page 6-8 for 
specifications.

Honing and Boring
Pistons must move freely in the cylinders while 
maintaining adequate compression and oil sealing. 
If the cylinder walls are scuffed, scored, 
out-of-round, or tapered beyond specifications, 
rebore and hone to restore cylinders to usable 
condition. Slight imperfections can be corrected by 
honing alone.
1. Boring - Significant cylinder damage may be
corrected by boring the cylinder to an oversize 
dimension. Refer to the appropriate parts 
catalog for available oversize pistons and piston 
rings.
• Boring a cylinder should always be done in a
properly equipped machine shop.
• A bored cylinder should always be finished with
a hone to properly prepare the cylinder surface 
so the new piston rings will seat properly.
• After the cylinder has been bored and honed,
install the appropriate oversize pistons and 
piston rings.
2. Honing - Minor cylinder imperfections may be
corrected by using a rigid cylinder hone 
(Figure 6-82, (1)). Be sure not to exceed the 
maximum cylinder bore specification.
Deglazing - A used cylinder that did not require 
boring or honing, should always be deglazed with 
a ball hone (Figure 6-82, (2)) before installing 
new piston rings. This will properly prepare the 
cylinder surface to allow new piston rings to seat 
properly.
Note: When honing a cylinder, with either a
ridged hone or a ball hone 
(Figure 6-81, (1)), move the rotating 
hone up and down in the cylinder bore to 
accomplish a 30° to 40° crosshatch 
pattern (Figure 6-81). This will provide 
the ideal surface for the proper seating of 
new piston rings.
