stamped beside the first when the block is refaced to
0.50 mm (0.0197 inch) - (Fig. 69).
(3) Consult the parts catalog for the proper head
gaskets which must be used with refaced blocks to
ensure proper piston-to-valve clearance.
STANDARD PROCEDURE-CYLINDER BORE -
DE-GLAZE
(1) New piston rings may not seat in glazed cylin-
der bores.
(2) De-glazing gives the bore the correct surface
finish required to seat the rings. The size of the bore
is not changed by proper de-glazing.
(3) Cover the lube holes in the top of the block
with waterproof tape.
(4) A correctly honed surface will have a cross-
hatch appearance with the lines at 15É to 25É angles
(Fig. 70). For the rough hone, use 80 grit honing
stones. To finish hone, use 280 grit honing stones.
(5) Use a drill, a fine grit Flex-hone and a mixture
of equal parts of mineral spirits and SAE 30W engine
oil to de-glaze the bores.
(6)
The crosshatch angle is a function of drill speed
and how fast the hone is moved vertically (Fig. 71).
(7) Vertical strokes MUST be smooth continuous
passes along the full length of the bore (Fig. 71).
(8) Inspect the bore after 10 strokes.
(9) Use a strong solution of hot water and laundry
detergent to clean the bores. Clean the cylinder bores
immediately after de-glazing.
(10) Rinse the bores until the detergent is removed
and blow the block dry with compressed air.

white, lint free, lightly oiled cloth. If grit residue is
still present, repeat the cleaning process until all res-
idue is removed. Wash the bores and the complete

STANDARD PROCEDUREÐCYLINDER BORE
REPAIR
Cylinder bore(s) can be repaired by one of two
methods:
²Method 1:ÐOver boring and using oversize pis-
tons and rings.
²Method 2:ÐBoring and installing a repair sleeve
to return the bore to standard dimensions.
METHOD 1ÐOVERSIZE BORE
Cylinder bore(s) can be repaired by one of two
methods:
Oversize pistons and rings are available in two
sizes - 0.50 mm (0.0197 inch) and 1.00 mm (0.0393
inch).
Any combination of standard, 0.50 mm (0.0197
inch) or 1.00 mm (0.0393 inch) overbore may be used
in the same engine.
If more than 1.00 mm (0.0393 inch) overbore is
needed, a repair sleeve can be installed (refer to
Method 2ÐRepair Sleeve).
Cylinder block bores may be bored twice before use
of a repair sleeve is required (Fig. 72). The first bore
is 0.50 mm (0.0197 inch) oversize. The second bore is
1.00 mm (0.0393 inch) oversize.
After boring to size, use a honing stone to chamfer
the edge of the bore (Fig. 72).

A correctly honed surface will have a crosshatch
appearance with the lines at 15É to 25É angles with
the top of the cylinder block (Fig. 73). For the rough
hone, use 80 grit honing stones. To finish hone, use
280 grit honing stones.
A maximum of 1.2 micrometer (48 microinch) sur-
face finish must be obtained.
After finish honing is complete, immediately clean
the cylinder bores with a strong solution of laundry
detergent and hot water.
After rinsing, blow the block dry.
Check the bore cleanliness by wiping with a white,
lint-free, lightly- oiled cloth. There should be no grit
residue present.
If the block is not to be used right away, coat it
with a rust- preventing compound.
METHOD 2ÐREPAIR SLEEVE
If more than a 1.00 mm (0.03937 inch) diameter
oversize bore is required, the block must be bored
and a repair sleeve installed.
Bore the block cylinder bore to 104.500-104.515
mm (4.1142-4.1148 inch) - (Fig. 74).Fig. 72 Cylinder Bore Dimensions

A correctly honed surface will have a crosshatch
appearance with the lines at 15É to 25É angles with
the top of the cylinder block. For the rough hone, use
80 grit honing stones. To finish hone, use 280 grit
honing stones.
Finished bore inside dimension is 102.020 0.020
mm (4.0165 0.0008 inch).
A maximum of 1.2 micrometer (48 microinch) sur-
face finish must be obtained.
After finish honing is complete, immediately clean
the cylinder bores with a strong solution of laundry
detergent and hot water.
After rinsing, blow the block dry with compressed
air.
Wipe the bore with a white, lint-free, lightly oiled
cloth. Make sure there is no grit residue present.
Apply a rust-preventing compound if the block will
not be used immediately.
A standard diameter piston and a piston ring set
must be used with a sleeved cylinder bore.
STANDARD PROCEDUREÐCAM BORE REPAIR
The front cam bushing bore can be bored to 59.235
Mm 0.013 mm (2.332 inch 0.0006 inch) oversize.
DO NOT bore the intermediate or rear cam bore to
the front cam bore oversize dimensions. Intermediate
and rear cam bores may be bored to 57.235 mm
0.013 mm (2.253 inch 0.0006± inch) oversize.
A surface finish of 2.3 micrometers (92 microinch)
must be maintained. Not more than 20% of an area
of any one bore may be 3.2 micrometers (126 micro-
inch).
Camshaft bores can be repaired individually. It is
not necessary to repair undamaged cam bores in
order to repair individually damaged cam bores. The
standard front bushing cannot be used to repair
intermediate or rear bores.
Install all cam bushings flush or below the front
cam bore surface. The oil hole must align to allow a
3.2 mm (0.125 inch) rod to pass through freely (Fig.
78).
INSPECTION
Measure the combustion deck face using a straight
edge and a feeler gauge (Fig. 79). The distortion of
the combustion deck face is not to exceed 0.010 mm
(0.0004 inch) in any 50.00 mm (2.0 inch) diameter.
Overall variation end to end or side to side is 0.075
mm (0.003 inch).
If the surface exceeds the limit,.
Inspect the cylinder bores for damage or excessive
wear.
Measure the cylinder bores (Fig. 80). If the cylin-
der bores exceeds the limit, (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
ENGINE BLOCK - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
Inspect the camshaft bores for scoring or excessive
wear.
Measure the camshaft bores (Refer to 9 - ENGINE
- SPECIFICATIONS). Limit for the No.1 bore applies
to the ID of the bushing.
If a bore exceeds the limit, (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
ENGINE BLOCK/CAMSHAFT & BEARINGS (IN
BLOCK) - STANDARD PROCEDURE).

REMOVALÐCAMSHAFT BEARINGS
NOTE: Measure the diameter of each bore. (The
limit for the bushing in the No.1 bore is the same as
for the other bores without bushings). The limit of
the inside diameter is 54.089 min. - 54.164 max. mm
(2.1295 min. - 2.1325 max. inch). If the camshaft
bore for the first cam bushing is worn beyond the
limit, install a new service bushing. Inspect the rest
of the camshaft bores for damage or excessive
wear.If the bores without a bushing are worn
beyond the limit, the engine must be removed for
machining and installation of service bushings. If
badly worn, replace the cylinder block.
(1) Remove the camshaft (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
ENGINE BLOCK/CAMSHAFT & BEARINGS (IN
BLOCK) - REMOVAL).
(2) Remove the bushing from the No.1 bore, using
a universal cam bushing tool.
(3) Mark the cylinder block so you can align the oil
hole in the cylinder block with the oil hole in the
bushing.
REMOVALÐCAMSHAFT
(1) Disconnect both battery negative cables.
(2) Recover A/C refrigerant (if A/C equipped) (Refer
to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMB-
ING - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(3) Raise vehicle on hoist.
