If the chain guide is damaged, it must be replaced. Honing Cylinder 1. Using a slide gauge and a dial indicator or a snap gauge, measure the cylinder bore diameter in three locations from top to bottom and again from top to bottom at 90° from the first measurements for a total of six measurements. The trueness (out-of-roundness) is the difference between the highest and lowest reading. Maximum trueness (out-of-roundness) must not exceed specifications. CC141D Cleaning/Inspecting Cylinder 1. Wash the cylinder in parts-cleaning solvent. 3-18
