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?

Joe, I put new rings in about a year ago and honed the cylinders then (first time I ever did this), finnally had the car out a couple of weeks a go for its maiden trip drove about 10 miles on flat roads, then I could not make it up a small hill without stalling, no power. I also had major oil leaks at the pushrod tubes on both sides and on at least one cylinder at the block. figuring if the engine is out to check the oil leaks I can easily pull the jugs and maybe run the hone on them to see if this is the problem with lack of power. The only pic I have seen of honing is in the haynes manual (B&W drawing), so if I can see a real pic I can tell if the honing was done right.
