NOTE: Recondition the cylinder bores to restore the<br />

crosshatch finish whenever new piston<br />

rings are installed to a cylinder that is within<br />

specification. Be careful not to hone the<br />

cylinder oversize or it will be necessary to<br />

resize the cylinder.<br />

Lubricate hone as recommended by hone<br />

manufacturer. The recommended drill speed is 300<br />

– 700 RPM and 40 - 60 strokes per minute.<br />

Because cylinder bores normally wear only in the<br />

area of ring travel (3), the cylinder bore will be round<br />

above and below ring travel area, Fig. 3 (B). Start<br />

drill and, as hone spins, move it up and down (7) at<br />

the bottom of the cylinder bore (4). Gradually<br />

increase the length of the strokes until hone travels<br />

full length of cylinder bore (8), but no more than 3/4<br />

– 1” (19 – 25 mm) above or below (6) cylinder bore,<br />

Fig. 3 (C). Lubricate hone frequently to prevent build<br />

up on stones.<br />

As cutting tension decreases, stop hone and tighten<br />

adjusting knob following hone manufacturer’s<br />

recommendations. Check cylinder bore frequently.<br />

Finishing<br />

Finishing stones are used after the cylinder bore has<br />

been resized to within 0.0015” (0.04 mm) of the<br />

desired size or when reconditioning a cylinder bore.<br />

The finishing stones will produce the correct<br />

crosshatch finish necessary for proper lubrication.<br />

The correct crosshatch angle is approximately 45º<br />

(1), Fig. 4.<br />

Recondition the cylinder bores to restore the finish<br />

when new piston rings are to be installed in a cylinder<br />

that is within specification. Do not to hone oversize<br />

or it will be necessary to resize the cylinder.<br />

NOTE: To produce the proper crosshatch finish use<br />

a drill speed of approximately 200 RPM and<br />

40 - 60 strokes per minute. Lubricate hone<br />

liberally to prevent build up on finishing<br />

stones.<br />

Cleaning<br />

Fig. 4<br />

CAUTION: Honing grit is highly abrasive and<br />

will cause rapid wear to all the internal components<br />

of the engine unless it is completely removed.<br />

The entire cylinder and crankcase<br />

MUST be THOROUGHLY cleaned after honing.<br />

First wash the cylinder and crankcase carefully in a<br />

solvent such as kerosene or commercial solvent.<br />

Then thoroughly wash cylinder and crankcase using<br />

a stiff brush with soap and hot water. Rinse<br />

thoroughly with hot running water. Repeat washing<br />

and rinsing until all traces of honing grit are gone.<br />

NOTE: When cylinder and crankcase have been<br />

thoroughly cleaned, use a clean white rag or<br />

napkin to wipe the cylinder bore. If honing<br />

grit is present it will appear as a gray residue<br />

on rag. If any honing grit is evident, re-wash<br />

and rinse entire cylinder and crankcase and<br />

check again. When there is no trace of<br />

honing grit on rag, the cylinder has been<br />

properly cleaned. Oil the cylinder bore to<br />

prevent rusting.<br />
