Inspect
Visual Inspection
NOTE
The following procedure assumes the engine has
been disassembled and cleaned, as described
above.
1 Inspect the crankshaft bearing journals for damage or spun bearings. The crankshaft bearing journals are not repairable and if damage is found, the cylinder block assembly must be replaced.
2 Inspect the primary camshaft chain tensioner mounting surface on the engine block for burrs or any defects that would affect the sealing of the new primary camshaft chain tensioner gasket.
3 Inspect all sealing and mating surfaces for damage, repair or replace the cylinder block assembly if required.
4 Inspect all threaded and through holes for damage or excessive debris.
5 Inspect all bolts for damage, if damaged replace with new bolts only.
6 Inspect the cylinder walls for cracks or damage. The cylinder sleeves are not serviced separately, if the cylinders are damaged the cylinder block assembly must be replaced.
7 Inspect the engine block for cracks. Do not repair any cracks. If cracks are found, the cylinder block assembly must be replaced. Repair any damaged threaded holes, refer to 4.9 Thread Repair Specifications.
Measuring Cylinder Bore Diameter
1 Measure the cylinder bore diameter 37 mm from the deck face (1) using a commercially available bore
gauge or Tool No. J-8087 (2).
2 Record the results and compare with the dimensions listed in the specifications, refer to 5 Specifications.

NOTE
If the cylinder diameter exceeds the
specifications, the cylinder block may be
oversized to 0.25 mm. Only one size of
oversized pistons and rings are available for
service. If the cylinder bore diameter exceeds
specification by more than 0.25 mm, the
cylinder block must be replaced.
Figure 6A1 – 448
Measuring Cylinder Bore Taper
1 Measure the cylinder bore along the thrust surfaces, perpendicular to the crankshaft centreline, at 10 mm below the deck surface and record the measurement.
2 Measure the cylinder bore along the thrust surfaces, perpendicular to the crankshaft centreline, at 100 mm below the deck surface and record the measurement.
3 Calculate the difference between the two measurements. The result will be the cylinder taper.
4 Compare the results with the dimensions listed in the specifications, refer to 5 Specifications.
NOTE
If the cylinder diameter exceeds the
specifications, the cylinder block may be
oversized to 0.25 mm. Only one size of oversized
pistons and rings are available for service. If the
cylinder bore diameter exceeds specification by
more than 0.25 mm, the cylinder block must be
replaced.
Measuring Cylinder Bore Out-of-Round
1 Measure both the thrust and non-thrust cylinder diameter at 10 mm below the deck. Record your measurements.

Engine Mechanical – V6 Page 6A1–240

2 Calculate the difference between the two measurements. The result will indicate out-of-round at the upper end of
the cylinder.
3 Measure both the thrust and non-thrust cylinder diameter at 100 mm below the deck surface. Record your measurements.
4 Calculate the difference between the two measurements. The result will indicate out-of-round at the lower end of the cylinder.
5 Compare your results with the dimensions listed in the specifications, refer to 5 Specifications.
NOTE
If the cylinder diameter exceeds the
specifications, the cylinder block may be
oversized to 0.25 mm. Only one size of oversized
pistons and rings are available for service. If the
cylinder bore diameter exceeds specification by
more than 0.25 mm, the cylinder block must be
replaced.
Deck Flatness Inspection
1 Ensure the engine block decks are clean and free of gasket material.
2 Inspect the surface for any imperfections or scratches that could inhibit correct cylinder head gasket sealing.
3 Place a straight-edge diagonally across the cylinder block deck face surface.
4 Measure the clearance between the straight-edge and the cylinder block deck face using a feeler gauge
at 4 points along the straight-edge.
5 If the warpage is less than 0.05 mm, the cylinder block deck surface does not require resurfacing.
6 If the warpage is between 0.05 ±0.20 mm or any imperfections or scratches that could inhibit correct
cylinder head gasket sealing are present, the cylinder
block deck surface requires resurfacing.
7 If resurfacing is required the maximum amount that can be removed is 0.25 mm.
8 If the cylinder block deck surface requires more than 0.25 mm material removal the block must be
replaced.

4.8 Thread Repairs
General Information
The thread repair process involves a solid, thin walled, self-locking, carbon steel, bushing type insert. During the insert
installation process, the installation driver tool cold-rolls the bottom internal threads and expands the bottom external
threads of the insert into the base material. This action mechanically locks the insert into place.
This Section describes the recommended method of repairing threads in three specific areas of the engine.
• general thread repair,
• cylinder block main bearing cap bolt hole thread repair, and
• cylinder head bolt hole thread repair.
For detailed descriptions of all thread specifications used refer to 4.9 Thread Repair Specifications.
The drill-bit and counter-bore tool from the thread repair kit, Tool No. J-42385-700 and J-42385-2000 are designed for
use with either a suitable tap wrench or drill motor. Limited access and larger hole repair may process better using a tap
wrench. An extension from Tool J 43965 may also be required to drive the thread repair tooling dependent on access to
the hole being repaired. Use only a tap wrench when tapping the hole and during installation of the insert.

General Thread Repair
NOTE
The use of a cutting type fluid such as WD 40® or
equivalent is recommended when performing the
drilling, counter boring and tapping procedures
1 W hen installed to the correct depth, the flange (1) of the insert will be seated against the counter bore of
the drilled/tapped hole and just below the surface (2)
of the base material.


Figure 6A1 – 465
NOTE
During the drilling process, repeatedly remove
the drill and clean the swarf from the hole and
the flutes of the drill.
CAUTION
Do not drill any further than the original hole
depth.
2 Drill out the threads of the damaged hole to the correct depth for the thread being repaired:
• M6 inserts require a minimum drill depth of 15
mm.
• M8 inserts require a minimum drill depth of 20
mm.
• M10 inserts require a minimum drill depth of
23.5 mm.

Figure 6A1 – 466
NOTE
All swarf must be removed from the drilled hole
prior to tapping.

Safety glasses must be worn when using
compressed air.
3 Using compressed air, clean out any swarf.

NOTE
• Ensure the fixture plate is installed during the
machining and installation processes of the
insert.
• The use of a cutting type fluid such as
WD 40® or equivalent is recommended when
performing the drilling, counter boring and
tapping procedures.
• When installed to the correct depth, the flange
