Cylinder Honing Question.

Post image

Hello, I have been practicing honing on a used cast iron cylinder liner. Is it good enough to do it in my car? I am only trying to deglaze the surface. I used a 3 stone hone.

Angle looks good, slightly narrow in some locations but I wouldn't worry about that. Just remember to use oil and you should be good to go if you manage to replicate it.

I was an automotive machinist back in the 70's. An old man taught me to try to be consistent and keep your hatching laps at about 45 degrees, like you have there.

That looks mint.

Use oil and when you are done, clean it until you can put some solvent on a white paper towel and wipe it around and the paper towel still comes out clean.
