    I use long stones that I true straight before each use. Then I use a fitting brush, like in copper fitting, after honing. And a ridge ring cutter when necessary. Maybe if one wants to "mail in" the port trimming and finishing a ball hone might be better…

    Deglazing is a better term as honing one does to finish bore after the hole is hogged open. Although I did a .020in overbore with 2 sets of stones when I was 16. Bike ran well.
