Reply To: To Hone or Not to Hone

[aquasonic]

Thank you to all who commented. This thread has been very educational for me. The majority here agrees that at least a light honing is called for, when new rings are installed, so that’s what I’ll do. I have on hand the proper size Flexhone for a 2 1/8″ bore.

Because these cylinders are in decent shape to begin with, I’ll try to err on the side of caution, and keep the honing to a minimum. Here is a link to the manufacturers user instructions.
