1.1 CYLINDER BLOCK AND CYLINDER LINER 1.1.3.6 General Inspection Check all machined surfaces for nicks or burrs that could affect the fit of mating parts. Clean up as necessary by stoning. Also inspect all tapped holes for thread damage and retap or install helical thread inserts as necessary. Replace any loose or damaged dowel pins. Refer to section ADDITIONAL INFORMATION1.A, "Engine Plug and Dowel Charts" for specifications. 1.1.3.7 Rust Prevention After inspection, if the cylinder block is not to be used immediately, spray the machined surfaces with engine oil. NOTICE: Castings free of grease or oil will rust when exposed to the atmosphere. Rust on machined surfaces may result in leakage.
If the block is to be stored for an extended period of time, spray or dip it in a polar-type rust preventive such as "Tectyl® 502-C" from Valvoline Oil Company (or equivalent).
