honing cylinders

ok i pulled apart my b18a and the bores look ok, but i want to clean them up a lttle bit, without boring them...can i just use a honing tool?, and if so, will i need to get larger pistons? (no, right?)

Re:honing cylinders

You can throw a quick hone and use factory pistons, I would just be sure to measure ring end gap before you do anything.

Re:honing cylinders

If you are not replacing the rings or pistons then do not touch the cylinder walls. If you do you will have to reseat the rings.

Re:honing cylinders

Does anyone know what grid of stone to use on the honing tool. I am just about to do my ZC.

Re:honing cylinders

you may want to measure the taper and out of round anyway since it's going to be apart and all. you might actually have to bore the thing anyway. if there is more then 0.006 taper then you should bore it.
