Good video but after seeing a few other I would advice that you do a full cycle, up and down and start and end each process with the drill running outside the cylinder and not inside the cylinder.
I don't agree, with the balls moving before you have them inside the cylinder you have a chance to hit the deck before landing the hone inside the cylinder and upon removing the hone. You can also cause scratching inside the cylinder by trying to jam it in while having the hone moving.The way he shows it is just fine, also those marks right down the bottom of the cylinder aren't crucial as they are below the piston stroke and wont hurt a thing. You can run the hone lightly over them again like he did to clean them up.
@@Seeeeyaaaa YES, you DO want the hone spinning as you enter or exit the bore... The LAST thing you want is vertical scratches running up and down the bore. You won't "miss" and grind any copious amounts of the deck off. If you cant hit the hole, practice first, or give up and pay someone to do it.
Hi. Next time put a cardboard box on top of the block, and get the hone spinning in it, then push the hone in. (The box will only have 4 sides, no top or bottom tho) make the job cleaner.
@@jamesoneil8146 It pushes too hard against the walls. The ball hone is tight in the bore so don't "force" it with a 45 degree angle. It's much like when you polish paint with a high speed buffer. Let the weight of the tool do the work, don't push down, (forcing) it.
Ignorant question…. When you were honing the cylinder, I didn’t see you switch the drill to reverse. How do you get the 45 degree cross hatch pattern if you don’t home clock/counter clock wise?
I found out that honing shoulders with Dingle balls works very well when you use knock loose chemicals as a honing solution. Motor oil is definitely the wrong chemicals to be used for honing transmission fluid would have been a better solution, like I said knock or loose works great it's a lot like holding oil they use in the machines.
Those things are ok for crosshatching but wont correct an out of round cyl only make it worse. A true stone hone guarantees that the rings will seat properly your only guessing !
