INSPECTION
Remove all gasket material from the cylinder
sealing surfaces.
Inspect the top of the cylinder for warpage using
a straight edge and feeler gauge.
Inspect cylinder for wear, scratches, or damage.
Inspect cylinder for taper and out of round with
a telescoping gauge or a dial bore gauge.
Measure in two different directions, front to
back and side to side, on three different levels
(1/2” down from top, in the middle, and 1/2” up
from bottom).
Record measurements. If cylinder is tapered or
out of round beyond specification, the cylinder
must be honed, bored, or replaced.
