I am probably going to pull the engine this weekend and check the cylinders. I have a bottle hone, and will probably try to hone the cylinders myself. Does anyone have some pics of what a good honing job should look like?

So why are you going to do this work? Are you losing compression, burning oil? or just bored. If it were me I would put new rings in it after measuring the cylinders to make sure they are still fairly true.
To bottle brush hone use lots of oil and twist the brush as you push in. What you are trying to accomplish is give the cylinders a tooth for the rings to bite into while seating/sealing. Somewhere around 15 degrees. If your cylinders are smooth the rings may never seal. Sorry if I sound gruff this morning but it started pourig half way to work in the 914. and I only have 1/2 cup of coffee so far. |
