Jim is right but you need to understand why.

Honing just like any other operation removes metal and only makes your lifter bores larger & your lifters looser.

If anything you need to measure your lifter bores to see if they are too large already.

Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.stir-plate.com www.towercooler.com www.kegkits.com

Hi folks, should I hone, or scuff up my lifter bores? They have some bright areas. New lifters going in. Thanks for any advice - Tom.

In a word, "No."
