Re: Honing Cylinders
what I am having a time to understand is why the piston seized on the top of the piston, typically, the piston is smaller in diameter (relieved) than the skirts.
The skirt dimension is what stabilizes the piston in the bore to control rock-over at the ends of the stroke.
If the rods are bent, typically the piston will show wear on the top on one side and the bottom of the other. If the crank is out of alignment fore and aft far enough to ride on the pistons, this would also cause wear as shown.
Whatever is causing this, it is pretty major and will likely not be fixed by just honing the bores.
