So I've verified my cylinders are not out of round, tapered, or egg shaped. All specifications are within limit but I need to replace my piston rings because I broke one.
At this point I can just hone and replace the rings but after researching I still have some questions on the honing process as I've never attempted it before.
-How long do I go for?
-How dense should this crosshatch pattern be?
-Indicators of when I've honed enough?
-Ball hone or three prong style?.. I've seen people say one or the other.. any merit or do they both do the job?
-I've seen the terms honing and de-glazing both used for the same process.. Are these the same or is there a difference?
thanks for any and all help,
