Subject: Re: Cylinder hone -conclusion?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
John ~~~~~~ you to Mike It sure is great to hear commmmmmmmmmon sense from
someone today !!!!!!!!!I If this was left up to the few so called experts
they would of had the fellow go to Home Depot purchase a 3" plastic pipe cut
off a 12 "piece drill a 3/4 " hole thru it get a 3 ft length 3/4 dia. cut
off dowel at 12" then insert dowel into hole . You now have your own boring or
honing tool with a lifetime warranty. OPPS they forgot to crazy glue a 6"
high piece of 40 D sand paper on the dia of the pipe. // You now spray wd 40 on
the cylinder wall / set down & squeeze the cyl. between your legs / now take
and insert your honing tool into the cyl. if it dont fit get a 3 lb. hand
sledge and make it FIT ./ Please crank hone to the the RIGHT ONLY // If you
crank the other direction you will have nothing LEFT. If the piston feels a
little sloppy mix up a batch of body filler a take & rebush the inside of the
cylinder let dry 20 min. then re hone it should be then good to go That is
basically what the few XXPERTS really wanted the fellow to do/ Tis funny they didnt
tell him to go the chain store junk store for 3 quarts of 99cent earl and a
small bag of sand blasting compound All he would have to do then is put in 1
pinch of the blasting compound per quart & stir thorughly // He could then
still use his old bearings and re hone them to fit his new crank ) Its Called
chain store mentrualality As I said before New Piston Kits Only !!!!!!!!
Good night all / Don at DVW ) www.dvwimportautoparts.com
