There’s two kinds of honing. The first kind is used to remove metal to get a final fit on a freshly bored cylinder. A three stone hone is used for this and you don’t want any part of it. The second kind is to break the glaze or to give a bit of tooth on the cylinder wall to hold oil while the new rings are seating. A Flex Hone or ball hone works best for this as it won’t remove excessive metal and leaves a perfect cross hatch pattern on the cylinder wall. Lightly rounding off the sharp upper and lower edges of the ports with a Dremel and a small ball stone before honing to avoid ring damage will give a finish your momma would be proud of!
