Re: Honing Cylinders
Take a piece of piston ring, about 1/3, use it at an angle as a scraper to remove the aluminum deposits
There will be a lot of debris from honing ---take the engine apart to clean, you won't be able to get what lodges in the webs without removing the crankshaft---and it will be hard to make a full stroke with the hone with the crankshaft in the way
make a stop for the hone so it doesn't catch on anything and the bottom of the stroke--I have a block of wood
make a lot of measurements as you hone to know how taper is going so you can dwell in the small areas
