Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the top surface of the cylinder block.
Using a soft brush and solvent, thoroughly clean the cylinder block.
Inspect the top surface of cylinder block for flatness.
Using a precision straight edge and feeler gauge, measure the surface contacting the cylinder head gasket for warpage.
Flatness of cylinder block gasket surface :
Less than 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) for total area
Less than 0.012 mm (0.0005 in) for a section of 50 mm x 50 mm (1.9685 in x 1.9685 in)
Inspect the cylinder bore.
Visually check the cylinder for vertical scratches.
If deep scratches are present, replace the cylinder block.
Inspect the cylinder bore diameter.
Using a cylinder bore gauge, measure the cylinder bore diameter at position in the thrust and axial direction.
Cylinder bore diameter
2.0L : 84.000 ~ 84.030 mm (3.3071 ~ 3.3083 in)
2.2L : 85.400 ~ 85.430 mm (3.3622 ~ 3.3634 in)
