Ball hone or adjustable diamond hone?

<< < (2/2)

moburki:
Well, I ordered a flex hone, forgot to specify grit...they ended up with a 120 grit. Too coarse.
Then worse, I found a dreaded crack between intake ports...I was trying to do a budget O-haul. I guess not. I guess I'll clean up the ports and send it out for welding and replating. Might miss more of our prime dirt riding season.

hughes:
Make sure you use 2-stroke oil on the balls and lude the cylinder. The diamond brake cylinder type hones work best on sleeved cylinders.
