Haha, jick its refreshing to hear that ppl here actually know why u must hone a cylinder.
Both the cylinder wall and the rings will wear to equilibrium quite fast and glaze themselves with a near perfect matching profile.
Without this, the natural shape of the ring, which is only perfectly round at a very particular compressed size, could be ovular compared to the bore. This is even more a problem with little motorcycle pistons, where the ring is small enough that simply having a bore which is a nanometer out of size could lead to a ring that never ever seats, id the bore wasnt honed propperly. This sole missunderstanding by mechanic monkeys here, is the reason there is so much blue smoke behind motors on every street in the country.
The environmental authorities (both of them, the beareu and the department) were too busy when i compiled a photo albulm of about 60 motorcycle shops on the island of cebu who had there cylinder hones wrapped in 2000 grit silicone carbide.
I suspect they juat dont care because its too big a priblem to resolve, much easier to just ban mining, the coubtries biggest provider of GDP.![]()
