Re: honing

Chummer,<br /><br />Honing cylinders is as much an art as a science. My preference is transmission fluid, followed by 3 in 1 oil. WHat ever you use. work to get that nice cross hatch pattern on the cylinders<br /><br />Good luck<br /><br />Case

Chumbucket,<br /><br />I tried to email you without success. We can do it here though. What do you need?<br /><br />Here is an important piece of information. Place a piston ring in the cylinder and measure the gap with a feeler guage (you can usea new ring if you have one). The maximum gap is listed by your manufacturer. If the gap is too big, ya gotta bore it!<br /><br />OK?<br /><br />Case
