They are already honed. :shrug

Do you think I should hone it more? The top block pic looks 50x better than the bottom pic. Could it just be the light hitting the bores a certain way thats making it look bad?

oh man. im doing that too right now. i just need injectors, spec clutch and ms. hope yours turns out good. gl

that rebuild looks exactly like the one i did.. spec clutch, j/e, eagle, and a white 420A eclipse

my car will sound like, bumbabumbubavrooooooooooooooomrooooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhh, kishhhhhh

It took me 10 1/2 months from start to finish with car running correctly until I was done. I hope yours goes quicker.

How long did you hone each cylinder for? How fast did you use your drill at? How quickly did you go up and down?

Bet he brought it to a machine shop like I did. Well I had too cuz the pistons were bored .020 over neways.

I rehoned it again, and DAMN! It definately needed to be honed some more. The hone is not as sweet as grain's, but it is definately resembling it.

Thanks for encouraging me to rehone it :).

paint your block and post more pics!:beer

I really wasn't planning on painting it.

You think I should?

Davo: You used ATF or light weight oil while spinning the hone right? Maybe it is the light hitting that pic or something, but it looks to me that the hone is scratching the shit out out of the cylinder walls and not really machining it well.

Post some more pictures.

I coated the cylinder walls with wd-40 and dipped the stones in synthetic oil.

I rehoned the cylinders and they look 10x better than what is pictured up there. I need to post another pic of it.

Are you using a straight stone, or a ball honer.

I used the honer with the 3 straight stones. It works pretty good, you just have to make sure you spend enough time on it, as I did not do the first time I honed.

here is another pic of the final hone and pistons in....



not sure what that reddish looking stuff is on piston #4, piston red-eye? ;)

much better!! i too have played the rebuild game. going for the 2.4 rebuild here real soon. good luck bud, let me know if you need head work done...chris
