Cylinder Bore Honing
NOTE: Before any cylinder bore is honed, all main
bearing caps must be installed so the crankshaft
bearing bores will not become distorted.
NOTE: To correct taper or out-of-round, bore the
cylinder block.
NOTE: Honing should be done when fitting new piston
rings or to remove minor surface.
• Hone with the 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.

rusting of the cylinder bores may occur.

bores.
