CYLINDER LINERS
DESCRIPTION
The cylinder liners used in the 3.0L engine are made of cast iron and molded into the aluminum engine block. There
are three size cylinder liners used and they are identified by the markings “A”, “X”, or “B” on the engine block below
the high pressure pump. These markings are used to match piston size with cylinder bore size.
INSPECTION
The cylinder walls should be checked for out-of-round
and taper with a dial bore gauge. If the cylinder walls
are badly scuffed or scored, replace the engine block.
Measure the cylinder bore at three levels in directions
A and B. Top measurement should be 10 mm (3/8 in.)
down and bottom measurement should be 10 mm (3/8
in.) up from the bottom bore.
