honing cylinder ?

[trx250r 88]

is there anyway i can just break the glaze on my cylinder without using a four leg hone or ball hone?i mic'd the cylinder in several spots and everthing looked good.

i've done it several times with a piece of sand paper on my old beater dirt bikes, works fine.

does the cylinder need cross hatching?can that been done with sanding lightly?

[cdrookie]

you can probably just bolt the cylinder back on without even touching it, if it's clean. i just lightly and quickly scuffed it

you could also bring it to a machine shop, for only honing it's probably less then 10$.
That's how I do it ;)

You could also do like I did- contact your local industrial tool supplier and buy a ball hone for $22.00. Then you are set for all your future top-end rebuilds.

don't even need an industrial supply store, auto parts stores sell them

I had went with the industrial supply place because they had the correct diameter ball hone in stock. I'm sure an auto parts store could order one. Unless you have a really well stocked auto parts store, then you might get lucky.
