engine and drivetrain Cylinder Hone Size What Do I Need

[jcnnjc]

what size ball hone or dingleberry hone size do I need looks like they have them in 89mm and 95mm

the motor has not been bored out so so it should be close to 88.97 stock dont know if the 89 will do it or if the 95 is 2 big?

Thanks

How about 3.5"

For the dingles, it's not so critical.  I'd go 89...

I think I used a 3.5" ball hone on my tii engine (89.47mm pistons)

 

Not shown is my extensive taping and drop cloth done for each cylinder (oil pan was off).  I put a rag down into the bore just above the crankshaft with the journal about 90 degrees from TDC to catch the grit.  I also got one of the bore brushes from the same company as the hone.  When doing this I was surprised at the amount of grit that you need to remove from each bore after honing.

I would like to point out that digital calipers are good for plus or minus .001" and most likely a lot worse.

For accurate measurements use a micrometer.

You are correct.  I would not do what I did again.  The use of a snap type bore gauge and digital calipers is not very accurate. So far the engine work I performed in 2009/2010 has worked out fine.
