Cylinder Wall Honing

NOTE: Before any cylinder bore is honed, all main bearing caps must be installed so that the crankshaft bearing bores will not become distorted. To correct taper or out-of-round, bore the cylinder block.





1. Hone with Engine Cylinder Hone Set at a speed of 300-500 RPM and a hone grit of 180-220 to provide the desired cylinder bore surface finish of 18-38 AA.

NOTE: Honing should be done when fitting new piston rings or to remove minor surface glaze.
