b. Measure the entire bore of each cylinder with
cylinder bore gage J 5347-01 (Fig. 12) which
has a dial indicator calibrated in .0001 "
increments. The standard block bore is 4.6260"
to 4.6275." Place the bore gage in the master
ring gage J 8386-01 which has an I.D. of
4.6270" and set the dial to zero.
