Ovality and Taper Guages are used
To measure bore taper
Wear from high mileage.
By definition, a cylinder has two equal circular (or elliptical) faces and a uniform cross section. Therefore, a cylinder cannot be tapered.
Taper is the wear of the cylinder bore that causes that bore to be cone shaped or "tapered"This caused by several factors including:Fuel washing oil off the cylinder wallsThe side forces created by the operation of the piston against the crank through the connecting rodAnd many other factors
The purpose of measuring taper angle is to obtain taper angle
This is the formula for calculating a taper: Large diameter of the taper minus the small Diameter of the taper divided by the length of of the taper will give you the taper per inch. You will also need to know the included angle of the taper if you ar cutting this taper. This formula would be Tangent of the included angle divide by 2.
This means that it is the opposite of the normal direction that a taper goes. Example; If a normal taper goes to the left, a reverse taper goes to the right.
A taper is an Elizabethan word for a specific kind of candle.
Before carrying out top overhaul please check following points. 1] Check cylinder bore for wear,taper and ovality.If dimensions are within specified limit as informed by manufacture you can replace piston ring set only. 2] Recondition cylinder head assy after replacing valve set, guide set and valve seats. 3] Overhaul fip and injectors. This complete procedure is called as top overhauling. Bhalchandra.
