Re: "Honing rings"

[ADAM GIBB]

I have often wondered about the surface finish on rings. The OMC rings through all of the classic era motors came with a surface that was ribbed parallel to the diameter of the ring. I can usually get an indication of the use the engine has seen by how much of the ridges are left, if any. I have never done it, but often wondered if scuffing the rings would be worthwhile.
