Do not remove studs (17) or dowel pins (18) from engine block (1), unless they
are damaged and need to be replaced.
i .
Remove set screw (19) from engine block (1).
4.4.21.2 Repair.
Do not use cleaning solvent without proper ventilation and clothing.
Do not
smoke or use near open flame or excessive heat.
Dry cleaning solvent is
potentially dangerous to personnel and property.
Clean parts in a well-
ventilated area.
Avoid inhalation of solvent fumes.
Wear goggles and rubber
gloves to protect eyes and skin.
Wash exposed skin thoroughly.
Failure to
obey this warning may result in personal injury or death.
a .
Using sling and adequate lifting device,
lower engine block (1) into tank of
heated cleaning solvent.
Circulate cleaning solvent around engine block (1)
to increase cleaning effectiveness.
To prevent the possibility of embedding foreign objects in the eyes, safety
glasses must be worn when using compressed air.
b.
Remove engine block (1) from tank of cleaning solvent and using compressed
air, dry thoroughly.
c .
Place engine block (1) on suitable engine stand and remove sling and lifting
d e v i c e.
d.
Using tube brush, clean all oil passages.
e .
Visually inspect engine block (1) for cracks and other obvious damage.
f .
Check for cracks in engine block (1) using dye penetrant.
g .
Check for excessive cylinder bore wear as follows:
(1) Determine diameter of wear area. Gauge at intervals of
approximately 45°.
(2) Check for letter stamped on engine block (1).
Letter will indicate standard
cylinder bore diameter as listed in Table 4-16.

E
4.0007 inches (101.6178 mm)
4.0011 inches (101.6279 mm)
(3) Measure diameter of cylinder in piston wear area. Compare
measurement with standard cylinder bore diameter values given in
Table 4-16.
Maximum allowable wear is 0.005 inches (0.127 mm).
(4) If wear appears to be excessive, check for original cylinder bore size by
gaging diameter of cylinder below piston ring wear area.
Cylinder may have
already been rebored for over-sized pistons.
