INSPECT (Cont.)
(4) The cylinder liner is alternately expanding and contracting during engine
operation, due to temperature variations. This may result in irregularities in the
block bores (out-of-round and taper), the effects of which will be seen as high
pressure areas on the outside of the cylinder liner.
(5) If a new liner and piston is installed in the block without properly fitting the liner,
galling and seizing of the piston may result. This is caused by the new piston
having to travel over the irregularities without time to conform to the particular
shape of the block bore.
