- NOTE: Your final bore size should be exactly
Procedure
- 3. When bore is within .0025” of desired size, re-
- move coarse stones and replace with burnishing
- stones. Continue with bumishing stones untit
- within .0005” of desired size and then use finish
- stones (220-280 grit) and polish to final size. A
- crosshatch should be observed if honing is done
- correctly. The crosshatch should intersect at ap-
- proximately 23-33° off the horizontal. Too flat of
- an angle could cause the rings to skip and wear
- excessively, foo steep of an angle will result in
- high oil consumption (refer to Figure 10-2).

- 4. After resizing, check the bore for raundness, taper,
- and size. Use an inside micrometer, telescoping
- gauge, or bore gauge to take measurements (Re-
- fer to Figure 10-3). The measurements should be
- taken at three locations in the cylinder--at the top,
- middle, and bottom. Two measurements should
- be taken (perpendicular to each other} at each of
- the three locations.
