REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS, PART 1
Page 207
Applying an RTV silicone bead is mandatory
whenever cylinder sleeves are installed.
To prevent partial curing and questionable
sealing and bonding, apply RTV silicone just
before installing the sleeves.
The cylinder block counterbore ledge and the
cylinder sleeve must be kept clean and free of
any oil residue to ensure that the RTV silicone
bead seals and bonds properly.
4. Position the cylinder sleeve in the cylinder
bore of the block.
5. With the palms of the hands placed on the
upper end of the cylinder sleeve
180 degrees apart, push downward with
quick, even pressure. Then, using a large
plastic-faced hammer, tap the sleeve (close
to the inside diameter) to fully seat the
sleeve. Tap alternately from one side to the
other, gradually working around the entire
circumference of the sleeve.
Clean any RTV from around the bottom of the
cylinder sleeve and the block which may have
been pressed out from the sealing surfaces of the
block and sleeve during installation.
6. After the cylinder sleeve is fully seated, use
depth gauge J 26948, or equivalent, to
check the flange height-above-deck
dimensions. The specified dimension is
0.023–0.029 inch (0.584–0.737 mm). The
measurement should be taken in the
channel between the sleeve top lip (fire
dam) and the coining bead. Refer to
Figure 211.
