[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by M.W. Hemphill I was under the impression that the cylinder bore of an internal combustion engine was tapered to be smaller at the top when cold to allow for differential expansion when hot, as the top of the cylinder runs hotter than the bottom. Wrong? [/quote] Mark, (can I call you mark?) you're probably right, but I do know that wear spec.s for liners include comparing measurements between different horizontal planes vertically to produce a number representing vertical bore taper. That that slipped my mind is probably a sign of the time that has passed since I last worked as a mechanic.
