got some cylinders that need honing.
what is honing? does it just resurface the inside of the cylinder without removing too much material? also, what else should they check at the machine shop? measure height and match? thanks, dr |

Puts that nice crosshatch pattern in the metal and it takes off alittle material so the piston to cylinder clearance is correct. If there isn't enough clearance the pistons heat up and stick inside the cylinders, not good.
