4. Check the cylinder walls for scratches and seizure. If defects are evident,
correct (bored to an oversize) or replace.
5. Using a cylinder gauge, measure the cylinder bore and cylindricality. If worn
badly, correct by boring the cylinders to an oversize and replace pistons and
piston rings. Measure at the points shown in the illustration.
