Cylinder Bore Honing - Engine Building Video - Hone Piston Wall

This guy sure kick ass to al those Expertvillage bull shea....thanks dude your the king on ENGINES....

how much would this cost im looking up pricing for my 327 rebuild thanks

usually, a machine shop will offer a single price for striping down the block, jet wash cleaning, bore, hone and cam bearing replacement.
Estimate a few hundred dollars if you need all that done, but sometimes you will only need the cleaning and hone to clean up the cylinders.

Call a local machine shop and ask for a complete block machining price.

Can honing be done mannually? to be more specific.. with HANDS? thanks!

True honing is only capable by a large powered machine like the one in this video.

When you see stones on a drill that is being operated by hand, the process is not honing. The drill type stones are only capable of a "de-glazing" procedure that will remove a surface coating of carbon build-up or other residuals left on the cylinder wall.

A hand-drill powered de-glazer does not have the power required to outwardly apply pressure against the inside cylinder walls for a true hone job.

yes it can, there's a honer air tool

I have a question I wanna rebuilt my H22 engine starting with replacing the sleeves for the cylinders and the head valve train with high performence parts I have the pricing for the parts but I need to know how much a machine shop will charge to do that?? I can do everything else except for that! can anyone help me out!!?

Every machine shop is different and will have various price ranges for the work they do for you.

Best thing to do is contact a machine shop near you and just ask them for a quote for the work that you think you need done. They can also advise you of the work that you may not have thought of or didn't know was involved as a standard procedure.

pvc glue it

angled cross-hatch marks (diagonal scratches) are the final hone of the cylinder bore as shown in this video.

Your cylinder wall should never be smooth as glass with a shiny chrome finish... there would be no way for small particles of oil to stick to the wall. The small droplets of oil are what keep your pistons moving smoothly and keep the cylinder walls from wearing away.

and yes, 175 psi across all pistons is a good compression reading for about 9:1 compression or a little higher.
