I just recieved my 400 grit ball hone in the mail today. How should I go about honing my walls? Wd 40, engine lube, water? My cylinder walls look pretty good as they are, how long should I be in there for each cylinder? I'm reusing my stock pistons by the way. Thanks in advance guys

just use a good 30wt oil. make sure you keep it well lubed. if you use an entire qt on each cylinder dont worry about it.

Thanks man. Again, my walls already look pretty clean. How long would you recommend I stay in there?

I would check with a local machine shop and see what they say.

make sure to get a good motion down and i would just use some heavy cheap oil. what are you using to spin it?

a good smooth down and up motion is good, and only take it down and up twice maybe 3 times depending on how bad your cylinder is. just make sure you spin it the same RPM's, nothing insane tho.

I like to use regular ATF for the cutting fluid. A bit thinner than engine oil. You're just trying to deglaze the surface so I'd say no more than 5 passes up/down. Start with a few strokes and then clean it up and look it over.

ATF works well to, just makes the metal go away faster. i like to use thicker 30wt oil so i dont get too agressive. id rather it take longer to hone it than to remove too much.
