Re: Honing Cylinders
As John says, it is unusual for pistons to seize at the top, and as Dave says, you need more piston-to-wall clearance. Start with a new set of pistons, bore or hone cylinders and start fresh. I bore a stock engine to .003" clearance, then hone another .0005", more on performance pistons. You can safely bore to 4" if you want. Back in the day Ford said .002" maximum, that is way too tight with today's pistons.
