I recall that you will break those honing stones if there is a ridge at that nick, so you may have to remove that high spot. I don’t recall what was used to remove those high spots (ridge). It has been several decades since I had to hone a cylinder so don’t take this as gospel and just learn how to hone a cylinder.

I would assume there are hundreds of good and bad videos out there. The vendor site probably has some good information on using the tools.

Ball pein hammer is a good way to get rid of the high spot.

ok thanks. Let me know if you have a recommended tool for the cylinder honing. Or should it be taken somewhere for that. Also any other specialty tools that come to mind that I will need for a rebuild let me know thanks.

I think you would be ahead in time, money, and quality if you took that block to an automotuve machine shop and let them do your cylinder work.

Ok thanks I’m going to look into getting these. I’m going to try and check out some videos. Should the other cylinders be honed also or just the one with the scratch. Should I be getting a cylinder/bore gauge to be checking it while honing or am I over thinking it? Is there a recommended order as far as stone grit goes, and is there a recommended type of lubricant that should be used. Thanks again for all the information.

That’s was going to be my next question about a recommended video on the correct procedure.

Ok thanks I’ll look and see what shops are in my area.
