Re: Hone Cylinder walls?
CaptKid:<br /><br />We may have been a little hard on ya, but what we said still holds true. We admire you for wanting to do it yourself. The best thing you could do would be to get a manual about the engine in question. Most have a section on re-building. Read it, and re-read it, and read it again. If you are going to continue with this project, we will be here to give you all the support you need. Buy a cheap engine stand, you do not want to do this on the floor. I remember the first 283 Chevy I rebuilt, I followed the Hot Rod Magazine on how to rebuild your first engine. I did everything right, except to check the end gap on the rings, Turned out I had the wrong ones, The engine was boared .60 over and I had stock. I had to tear it apart and re-ring it with the right ones. It did run however, but boy did it have blow by when I pulled a hill. <br /><br />You are right, you have to start somewhere.
