Re: Honing Cylinders
You can remove the galled aluminum using hardware store muratic acid and a qtip- this will not hurt the cylinder wall. Or you can hone it off with a rigid hone. Comments regarding wall clearance are all good- .0035 is probably as tight as I would be comfortable with.
No one mentioned checking the ring gap unless I missed it. Probably not the issue but worth checking.
To measure the piston skirt, do it 90 degrees to the pin and probably half way between the bottom of the skirt and the pin would be a good starting point. Be aware that the skirts are not round and are smaller parallel to the pin. Hope this helps.
