Re: Cylinder Wear

[chris-p]

I cannot speak for Adam, but for me I rebuild motors when they broke a rod, rings hopelessly stuck, bearing went, etc…. While I have them apart, I hone the cylinders to break the glaze. Check ring wear, and if end gap is more than .015, I re ring.

I wouldn’t say hone it out of spec, more likely that it ends up being about .002 after honing, and after years of wear
