10-6.3. Engine Cylinder Dimensional Inspection
NOTE: Refer to 10-6.3.1, Cylinder Service Limits for all
dimensional limits:
Procedure
1.
Inspect cylinder bore dimensions according to the Tables and Figures in “Cylinder
Service Limits”. Grind any honed cylinder bore that does not conform to the standard
size dimensions to the next oversize dimension up to 0.15 inches oversize maximum.
(Refer to “Cylinder Bore Honing” in Chapter 9, Inspection and Repair of the TCM
Overhaul Manual (OH-22) for instructions on grinding and honing.)
2.
Inspect the cylinder base flange for flatness with a straightedge. If a flange exceeds
0.001 inches out of flat, replace the cylinder.
3.
Dimensionally inspect the intake flange studs, cylinder exhaust flange studs, and stud
rocker hold down stud holes using a thread gauge. Determine the appropriate oversize
stud for replacement.
4.
If the intake flange studs have been removed for replacement, dimensionally inspect
the stud holes using a thread gauge. Determine the appropriate oversize stud for
replacement.
5.
Dimensionally inspect the inside diameter of the valve guides. The guide dimensions
must meet specifications. Replace worn or non-conforming guides.
6.
Inspect the intake valve seats for any indication of burning, pitting erosion, or cracks.
Check the valve seat dimensions. Inspect the outside length of the intake and exhaust
valve stems using a micrometer. Replace any valve that does not conform to the
service limits or is cracked, eroded, burnt or pitted.
7.
Inspect the outside diameter of the intake and exhaust valve stems using a
micrometer. Replace any valve with a valve stem outer diameter measuring less or
more than the prescribed tolerance.
8.
Inspect the outside diameter of the intake and exhaust valve heads using a
micrometer. Replace any valve with a valve head outer diameter measuring less or
more than the prescribed tolerance.
9.
Inspect the exhaust valves and valve seats for evidence of burning, pitting, erosion, or
cracks. Check the valve seat dimensions. Replace any exhaust valve or exhaust valve
seat that does not-conform to specifications or is cracked, eroded, burnt or pitted.
10.
Dimensionally inspect the rocker arm thrust width. Refer to the service limits
tolerances and verify that the thrust width specified for the cylinder being repaired
conforms to the service limits. Replace the rocker arm if the thrust width is out of
tolerance.
11.
Inspect the “power stroke areas” according to the “Cylinder Visual Inspection” in
Chapter 7, Maintenance Inspections.
