Not in years but, yea. Does your existing cylider have any pitting? If so, forget it. You cannot resize the cylinder w/ a honing tool. You can just clean it up. Keep moving the tool in & out while it is turning. I used 5w or "3-in-1" brand oil to lubricate the honing process. When satisfied take a 3/8" wood dowel, split the end of it about 1", slip the end of a red cotton shop rag in the slit and wrap the rest around the dowel. Now chuch the dowel in your drill and run it in the same motion as the honing tool was used. Take your time!
