10.
Measure the cylinder bores for taper and out-of-round.
a.
Depress the plunger on the J 8087 7 mm (0.275 in) or until
the J 8087 enters the cylinder bore.
b.
Center the J 8087 in the cylinder bore and turn the indicator
dial to 0.
c.
Move the J 8087 up and down the cylinder bore to deter-
mine the cylinder bore taper. See
d.
Turn the J 8087 to different points around the cylinder bore
to determine the cylinder bore out-of-round condition.

Cylinder Boring and Honing
Honing Procedure
CAUTION! Wear safety glasses.
1.
When honing the cylinder bores, follow the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations for equipment use, cleaning and lubrication.
• Use only clean sharp stones of the proper grade for the
amount of material to be removed.
• Dull, dirty stones cut unevenly and generate excessive heat.
• DO NOT hone to a final grade with a coarse or medium-
grade stone.
• Leave sufficient metal so that all the stone marks will be
remove with the fine grade stones.
• Perform the final honing with a fine-grade stone and hone
the cylinder bore in a crosshatch pattern at 45-65 degrees to
obtain the proper clearance.
2.
During the honing operation, thoroughly check the cylinder
bore.
• Repeatedly check the cylinder bore fit with the selected pis-
ton.
• All measurements of the piston or cylinder bore should be
made with the components at normal room temperature.
3.
When honing to eliminate taper in the cylinder bore, use full
strokes the complete length of the cylinder bore.
4.
Repeatedly check the measurement at the top, the middle and
the bottom of the cylinder bore.
• The finish marks should be clean but not sharp.
• The finish marks should be free from imbedded particles or
torn or folded material.
5.
By measuring the selected piston at the sizing point and then by
adding the average of the clearance specification, the final cyl-
inder bore honing dimension required can be determined.
6.
When finished, the reconditioned cylinder bores should have
less than or meet the specified out-of-round and taper require-
ments.
7.
After the final honing and before the piston is checked for fit,
clean the cylinder bore with hot water and detergent.
