    The only real way to check is to measure the bores (side-side and front to back) with a caliper and compare it to what they are supposed to be in the haynes manual. If you feel down the bore you might feel a ridge where the piston rings stop at the top if it is bad. You could also measure the crank to see if there is any wear.
