Excellent - always understood the idea, but it’s really useful to understand the finer details. Thanks AC!

Another super informative video. Love the block clamping mechanism (a foot). Thank you for sharing.

It’s crude but it works for me, some won’t like it I am sure, but it does work!!

I stumbled across your video a few days ago, you are spot on... for the most part. It is amazing how many people think they can successfully hone a cylinder with a three finger hone. I use a Sunnen portable rigid hone. But, why don't you use honing oil? Oil cuts the friction down, thus diminishing the heat and the heat expansion problem.

I don’t do enough to warrant the expense of a tank and a pump.

Nice job use some oil it helps keeps stones clean. And keeps block cool. Keep videos coming. 👌

Instead of dry honing, why don't you put block in a storage bin and use fuel transfer pump? (even small fountain pump works) I use an ordinary plastic bin about 30"x 20"x18" and diesel instead of high sulphur cutting oil. (it's cheaper, around $5.00 a gallon instead of $55.00) The school I worked (MMI, Orlando) at had deep steel tanks and fixtures to hold cylinders at convenient angle but they took up a lot of space.

Very nice video. What is the tippical clearance you aim for?

Clearance depends on piston type and application

Most other videos show oiling the stones. Presumably you get a faster cut staying dry?

Oil the stones is clearly better but I have not found the need in what I do. The oil does aid cooling which means more consistent sizing is possible much quicker when using oil.

AC - for new rings on a previously low mileage block (still round with deeper honing marks still present) would you recommend just a hone with a fine stone for bedding them in?

280grit would be ideal

I think it’s possible to use this technique and tools for home dentistry
