The maximum differential between high and low measurements made at four places around each liner is 0.05 mm (.002 in). The average projection of liners next to each other must not be more than 0.05 mm (.002 in). The maximum difference in the average projection of all cylinder liners under each cylinder head must not be more than 0.10 mm (.004 in). NOTE: If the liner is turned in the bore, it can make a difference in the liner projection. 4. If the liner projection is not 0.033 to 0.175 mm (.0012 to .0069 in), check the thickness of the following parts: spacer plate, spacer plate gasket and cylinder liner flange. The thickness of the spacer plate must be 9.970 0.025 mm (.3925 .0010 in). The thickness of the spacer plate gasket must be 0.208 0.025 mm (.0082 .0010 in). The thickness of the cylinder liner flange must be 10.282 0.020 mm (.4048 .0008 in). NOTE: If the liner projection changes from point to point around the liner, turn the liner to a new position in the bore. If the liner projection is still not to specifications, move the liner to a different bore. 5. When the cylinder projection is correct, put a mark on the liner and block so the liner can be installed in the same position from which it was removed. NOTE: Cylinder liner projection can be adjusted by the removal of material from (machining) the contact face of the cylinder block with the use of the 8S3140 Cylinder Block Counterboring Tool Arrangement. Machine to a minimum depth of 0.76 mm (.030 in) and to a maximum depth of 1.14 mm (.045 in). The instructions for the use of the tool group are in Special Instruction, Form No. FM055228. Shims are available for the adjustment of the liner projection.
