I have my heads off and I am looking at some easy to remove P&C's. I am thinking of getting new rings ($80) and using a "grape hone" in the cylinders.
Does that sould like a good plan ? or am I just wacko (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |

I use them all the time at work. The "grape" hone (trade name FlexHone) is a great way to condition the surface inside the cyl. You can use alot of diff. lubes for diff. effects. The lighter the oil the more it "bites" into the metal, A common way for us to do it... is use WD-40 on the first dozen or so strokes. This cleans out the metal and bites into the surface to "deglaze" the surface. Then wipe that out and use ATF on the next pass, this gives you a "plateu" finish. A surface with valleys to hold oil during break in, and smooth area (the peaks were taken off) to keep friction and wear down to a minimum. After all that... wash, clean, dry, wash, clean......... I like dawn dish soap and hot water.
And just to say it... this is only my personal/perfesional OPINION |
