Do I need to hone my cylinder?

<< < (3/3)

mr.5thou sand:
if u have a steel sleeve bore it out

Jopiz:
It's not sleeved cylinder so boring will not be an option. When i closely inspected the cylinder again those cross hatch marks are party visible. Does scotch brite pad work removing the glaze? I've heard some guys talking about using muriatic acid when deglazing cylinder. It's based on muriatic acid eating aluminum. Any experiences?
Using 400 grit paper for refreshing the cross hatch marks sounds pretty odd to me but that was for steel sleeves right? Dont wanna ruin my cylinder :P

I have used scotchbrite and swimming pool acid with good luck.

awak100:
Muriatic acid blended 50/50 with water leave it on about 10 or 15 min then wash off really good soap and water.  Wash cylinder wall pretty good before you apply
