    Ok, so i just checked my local hardware store and they sell a honing kit for 20 bucks. Thinking I may purchase and use it. How would I know when to stop honing or how much material to remove? Just measure how much i’ve removed with a vernier caliper? If I go this route should I be reordering new rings that are .030 oversized? I’m thinking now that i’m may reorder rings since the set I got have different ends than stock. BTW, this is my first tackle at doing this type of work, I’ve done ring swaps and and gaskets, carbs etc, but never had to hone a cylinder.
