suth82 0 Posted October 13, 2007 Hi, I have just bought myself a cylinder honing tool so i can hone my liners before fitted my new piston rings. I have never done this before so would appreciate any tips. Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jas-E 1 Posted October 13, 2007 Make sure you use loads of lubrication - i used WD40. If you have a cleaning tank than i believe the solvents used for that should be ok. Also once you start keep moving the honer up and down the liner as fast as possible as if you go slowly it will just polish the surface of the liner which is not good (you want to replicate the cross hatchings you get on a new liner). Dont over do it. Once the lip from the top of the liner is gone you should stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 191 Posted October 13, 2007 Agree with above, you have to try and move up and down quite quickly with the drill on a slow speed, to achieve +/- 30 degrees from the horizontal. I'm lucky enough now to have access to a machinist with a production standard CNC boring/honing machine which means for a few quid I can avoid this pain in the ass job!
