I had a melted pistion so i took everthing apart now i need to order a honing bead tool. I dont want to use the stone type my luck it will come out egg shape. Does anyone know what size to use on a 24v 2003? It has a 4 inch diameter hole i just heard to go bigger like 4 1/8 or 4 1/4? hopefully it will take all the metal or roughness out. Any suggestions will help thanks Jesse

On a 4 inch, yes go alittle bigger. How bad is the walls? Fair amout of metal transfer? Keep a good cross hatch angle. Make sure you use a good honing oil. It will keep the berry hone from clogging up and not cutting.

Not to bad doesnt look to be deep. When your honing what speed do you move up and down. what size grit? thanks

I bought a flex hone off of BRM (Brush Research Manufacturing). Good hone and not too expensive either. http://www.flex-hone.com/

Mine was just a small 1.5" hone for a Maytag Twin washing machine engine. I got 240 grit per their recommendations. They have videos and instructions on how to use them on the website. http://www.brushresearch.com/videos.php
