Locations of the center of the cylinder bores are measured from the center of the dowel location on
the mounting surface for the oil pan.

Cylinders can be bored 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) oversized. The cylinder bore diameter of the stock
head gasket is still acceptable to be used with the oversized bore diameter. The standard head
gasket can still be used as long as the top deck height is still within the NEW specifications listed
in Table 1.
If the top deck surface of the cylinder block must be milled, the top deck must be milled prior to
boring the cylinders. The top deck height is measured from the centerline of the main bearing bore
to the top deck surface of the engine block. When 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) is removed from the top
deck surface, a new thicker head gasket must be used.

When 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) is removed from the top deck surface, the projection of the piston
should then be 0.46 mm (0.018 inch) to 0.61 mm (0.024 inch). The thicker head gasket must then
be used.
The projection of the piston must be measured after any of the following components are replaced
or if the top deck surface is machined.
• Crankshaft
• Cylinder head
• Connecting rod
Refer to ""Measuring Piston Projection" " in this document for the correct procedure.
Note: The top of the piston should NEVER be machined to obtain the correct projection of the
piston.

Tooling
Tool Part Number Description
If the projection of the piston is not within the allowed range, a different length of connecting rod
may be used to achieve the correct projection of the piston. Different lengths of connecting rods
are available to help maintain the correct projection of the piston. The length of the connecting rod
is determined by offset machining the inner bore of the piston pin bearing. This will move the
position of the piston, making the overall length of the connecting rod shorter or longer. The
projection of the piston will determine what length of connecting rod should be used.
The other option of correcting piston projection is to purchase a new piston pin bushing. The new
bushing can have the center of the inside finished diameter offset machined to change the
projection of the piston. Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF9242, "Specifications and
Salvage Procedures for Connecting Rods in C4.4 and C6.6 Engines"

Use the following procedure to measure the projection of the piston. Use the top surface of the
cylinder block to zero Tooling (H) .
1. Rotate the crankcase until the piston is just before top dead center.
2. Position Tooling (H) and Tooling (I) and slowly rotate the crankshaft to determine when the
piston is at the highest position. Record this dimension and determine if the piston
projection is within specifications.

• The crosshatch of the honing finish is required with a horizontal (tangential to axis of the
cylinder bore) inclusive circumferential angle of 30 degrees to 35 degrees when measured
midway along the bore.
• The surface finish shall be cleanly cut and free from excessive tearing, folding, smearing,
and foiling. Surface to be uniformly cut in both directions throughout the length of the
cylinder bore.
Camshaft Bushing
Illustration 5 g03137160
When replacing the camshaft bushing, the bushing should not protrude past the face of the engine
block. The bushing should be installed to a depth of 0.2 mm (0.008 inch). The oil hole (L) in the
bushing should be aligned with the oil supply hole in the engine block. The bushing should be
installed dry without the use of any lubricant. Be sure not to damage the block during the removal
of the old bushing.
