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 !!!!!!!!
