AdrenalineJunky Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 I saw them use it on YouTube and looks like it did a quick easy job for a rering. Gonna put new rings in and the cylinders got a little surface rust also so would this be o.k. to use to get them cleaned up and get a nice crosshatch for the new rings? Quote

midlifecrisis Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 I dont know enough about the actual mechanics of a correct hone job, to know if its a good system or not, but it sure looks like a fool proof system for a re ring. Good luck with it, and let us know how it works out for you. Quote
jbooker82 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Yea that is a good one for a rering job, but you also need to know if the current bore is ture and have the proper clearances for the size of pistons your running. Quote
AdrenalineJunky Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Posted June 30, 2010 I had left the cylinders sit out on the service cart on my back covered porch and they have some surface rust on them. Quote
AdrenalineJunky Posted July 2, 2010 Author Report Posted July 2, 2010 Yah that sucks, don't have any machinist tools, have every tool except I think. If I had extra cash i'd buy some. Looked at the cylinders today and the surface rust comes off but kinda stained the cylinder. You can't feel it but it looks stained. Will this hurt anything? Guess I need to have them measured. How much ya think machine shop would charge me to see if there within spec? Quote

How much ya think machine shop would charge me to see if there within spec? if you are stil on the stock 64mm bore and there are no marks in cylinders and the surface is smooth just give it a light hone and stick the piston in my bike is 06 black se did the top end 2 months ago first rebuild on this motor because all cylinders are nikasil coated on stock 64mm bore all i needed to do was hone it and install the piston and rings Quote
