Okay, Im looking to hone my clyinder before reasembly. I already have a stone grinder similar to this:

I was told that after I deglaze with the above mentioned, I would need to cross hatch with one of these:

Is this correct? What grit should I use stone wise, and flex wise?

This is on my bored Tri-Z

Thanks for any advice.

all i use is the ball hone..or flex hone, whatever you want to call it. That 240 is perfict!

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it!

One more question, the cylinder is about 2 5/8 inches, how big of a flex hone should I get?

Also, know of any good places online to pick one up besides ebay?

ball hones work the best definatly.

those bar ones suck donkey dong

[Bryan Raffa]

you should get one bigger than the bore so it put pressure on the cylinder walls.

I have checked that and according to me you can use any from both of them. I think that 240 might be perfect for your cylinder. Thanks for the other advices. I appreciate.
