[QUOTE="kirrbby, post: 184322, member: 3972"] All good info racerx, thank you. Clayton has a piston kit he's hoping to use. I don't have any new, stock bore, rings to use to check end gaps. But that is what I was thinking would be a good way, for me, to be able to check this cylinder, for size, AND roundness, etc. If the end gaps are within new ring specs, and I don't see excessive light coming thru anywhere around the ring...call it good. I'm not usually working on stock top ends these days. But if you can get away with deglazing them and running them...well that's good stuff. I wasn't sure if I even needed to be trying to remove the scoring that was present. 3 shallow scratches that weren't within the stroke of the rings. I did a lot of extra honing, in order to remove those scratches. I did the job on a drill press, and kept it oiled. But I COULD NOT get any cross hatching with that method. But with a clean dry hone, moving fast, with a low speed cordless drill, I got the cross hatch seen very quickly...I learned something. At least I think I did. My hone is a 180 grit. I thought that was coarse, as hones go. But, it seemed too fine to me this time. ...did someone say rambling?? :) [/QUOTE]
