Re: To Hone or not to Hone is the Question

Thanks for the replies. Good reminder about using "air cooled" 2 cycle oil…
I’m not used to that in outboards!

I’ve never heard of "flex hone" oil, nor do I have one of those "ball hones".
I’ve thought about them in the past, but not sure how many different
sizes one would need.

Seem like in the old days they said to use kerosene for a lubricant
while honing, and wash the cylinder after with "hot, soapy stoddard water"!

Whatever I do, I’ll be sure not to get "trigger happy" and remove metal!

Prepare to be boarded!
