I used to work in a machine shop, and the honing machine was $30,000+, we used various grit stones, parallel guides on the hone head, absolutely flooded the cylinders with oil, we could measure the load while honing. We would careful set the stroke speed and length to set the cross hatch angles.. it was all very technical. We would bolt on a torque plate with a gasket to simulate the distortion that torqued head bolts impose, and at the end of the day, we only charged $160 to hone a V8 engine! It was the best bargain out there! Who knew we could have just used a Leslie auto parts hone with a squirt of WD40 and saved all that money and floor space!

Something I recently became aware of was the need to tailor the finish of the bore to suit the ring material. A shop will know these things and be equipped to handle it. A shop can also give advice on current trends in the practice of rebuilding; about the new materials, techniques, training. That’s why I have used shops. But I’m willing to take some chances to figure it out and do my next engine with minimal shop work. Just for the experience.

Nowadays we use a $100K honing machine and just 1 grit of diamonds to size(150 grit) then about 6 strokes with an 800 grit diamonds to create the plateau finish for the rings. We then check the surface finish with a profilometer to verify the finish is in spec, sometimes needs a couple more stokes with the 800 grit if you are using moly rings.

Most of them ended up in a bad result in a way you never considered. Dont ever take the approach of “we’ll just see what happens”. Even if you get the bores perfectly straight.

​​​@@PCMenten have you tried it yet? If not don't listen to people telling you not to. Assuming you are okay with the risk of possibly having to do it over again. However with some care you can have a solid running engine with mostly diy work. I have rebuilt 2 with diy honing and considering doing the 3rd(which is why I'm watching this. Trying to convince myself to diy again) the first 2 turned out fine. Compression test gave little variance between cylinders, minimal oil consumption. One of the builds was a street use putt around town mostly. Other one was a twin turbo street/strip with forged bottom end. Pistons were "drop in", I didn't even measure PTW 😂 Now I know i got extremely lucky with the 2nd build. Don't assume I'm trying to say you don't need a machine shop just know the possible risk and check things over well. If you are going to be building a performance engine and got the budget, take it to a pro. If you just need something to get you around town send it. BTW 1st build I DID measure for out of round and it was within factory spec. I also measured the 2nd and it was just barely outside of spec on 1 cyl but others were fine. I would highly recommend cleaning the cylinders and taking a lot of measurements before you diy or take it to a shop.

Am currently rebuilding an 86 OMC 3.0 marine engine that had a seized cylinder. Have been watching a ton of vids on DIY honing,and this one was excellent. Great clear instructions and easy to follow. Awesome 👏

Great video man went through every step in detail. Love it 👍

Interesting insight! I had this done to a Morris Minor engine back in early 1976 as it was burning serious amounts of oil. I think we went up +0.020". Got the engine back but noticed it was full of grinding grit so after putting an old carpet into the bath, gave the block a good washing followed by thorough drying and oiling waiting for reassembly. The engine ran really well for about 35k miles and then the pistons seemed kind of triangular so swapped out for another slightly bigger cc engine. Fun while it lasted!

Decimal Tenths flexhone is 100% superior to those terrible 3 finger jobs, even superior to my cnc hone in a ‘stepped’ bore, as it will get under and radius the step instead or riding over/correcting it. That said, no stepped bore is within spec at top though, so I’m rarely ‘freshening’ one up. Reality though, is, anything will run, but you need to bin that hone, get a flexhone and work on your stroke/spindle speed consistency 😉 40-45 degree cross hatch will work well on all. You never stop learning, but be sure to learn the right way 😎 BTW I’d put that through a proper machine and plateau finish it for £80

great info thanks

i hope you will film the rest of the process for us lot!

Brilliant educational video. Very informative and clearly understood. If I may, can I call upon your engineering skills to answer one question. I'm not a mechanic or someone who's experienced in a machine shop, just someone who's got a passion for rebuilding car engines. I'm trying to rebuild a 1.7cc diesel engine (117,000 miles) and I measured the old piston ring gap with feeler gauges in the bore. The clearances wasn't excessive, just 0.35 instead of the recommended, Haynes manual opening of 0.20-0.30mm. So given the fact I intend to keep this family car for a few more years, I followed the advice of the book and invested in a new set (x4 pistons) standard piston rings. I'm a little bit disappointed because some of the gaps are worst than the old rings. In an ideal world with unlimited resources, yes a re-bore with oversize piston would be perfect. But with the car nearly 10 years old and me having a limited budget, my question is this. After copying your feeling and sight examination and not noticing any conceivable wear in the bores. Would it be a good idea to ask the shop to swop the standard rings for slightly oversize rings (say + 0.25mm) and try and fit them to standard pistons? And after a light honing (file if need be) try and get the exact gap clearance(s). Many thanks in advance for your (or anybody's) advice, bye for now, Barry (Chester UK).

@DecimalTenths

6 ай бұрын

Hey Barry! Good question buddy. For your application I would fit the rings as they are at 0.35. That's not a bad gap at all. Admittedly oem specs tend to be a amidge tighter, but that won't make any difference from my experience, plus I have seen ring gaps also showing up at the upper end of tolerances to no ill effect. Send it pal 👍

Hey dude. The Ridge at the top of the cylinder is the part where the rings don't move over. It still won't be used, but will be a good indication of how worn the cylinders are. Measure the area that the ring moves over and deter.ine if it is round, and within spec. Don't worry about the top part. If you wanted you could give the area some attention to decrease it, but it isn't needed.
