[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 125363, member: 3426"] From my limited personal experience with honing cylinders, I can get a bore finish that is shall we say more or less acceptable considering what we are working with here. I guessing those pistons came out of some sort of 4 wheeled medieval device with liquid cooling? I figure I’m ok as long as I remove all but the last tiny bit with a rigid boring bar and only subject my liner to the horrors of a two stone hone for a couple of thou. Admittedly it’s not a device that I proudly display on my shop wall, but I’m not removing material from a thin wet liner that flexes as the dull stones rotate. There is a rather nice Sunnen hone for sale locally that had a sheltered life in the aerospace prototype world, but so far I’m managed to ignore it in hopes that it will sell quickly. [/QUOTE]
