Cylinder liner honing
- Thread starter wr180561
- Start date
Since it appears that WR has gone and started putting the piston and rings back in his engine, maybe we should discuss these large bore hones until he gets back (or gives up on us giving any helpful advice).
Tmoose, have you used these "rigid" hones on a 15.25" diameter bore? (387 mm) I'm preparing to do an overhaul on one of our integral compressors, this summer. I plan to use a rigid hone to knock the ring ledge out of the liners, provided they are in spec. Any advice?
I agree that the beri brushes don't do much, but if you are changing your piston, rings, or bearing 20% of the way through your overhaul cycle, you need something to break the glaze and get the rings to seat. Or am I not thinking about this correctly?
Thanks, dwedel
