So many commenters saying “take it to the machine shop and do it the right way!” A machine shop isn’t some magical place in a magical forest where parts magically get renewed, in fact so many things come back from “machine shops” all jacked up these days, you might be better off doing it yourself until you find a shop you can trust and even then it cost an arm and a dick because people just replace parts and a machinist is so specialized now. This video was made 6yrs ago, price the machine shop today and you’ll really be ready to see what can be done at home! This is good info for when you don’t have a choice because your in a remote area or in a place where machinists are far and few. Anyhow, the only thing i would add is maybe a step to wipe the burrs in the direction of spin and yes, if you have the ability, then mic the journals before and after or at least plastigage it and check clearances. Nothing wrong with this if you take your time and use your head 👍

Very helpful thank YOU! Also the part number.

Thank you for your time. It's good to learn.

That is a glaze breaker not a cylinder hone!

Don’t see how you got a 45 deg cross hatch with that drill speed and action 🤷‍♂️. I lol keep searching for someone that does it right 😎

Awesome video, very helpful and straight to the point

Appreciate the video bud🤜🤛

DIY guys can call this whatever they want. No engine machinist is going to call this a hone job. This is nothing more than deglazing. A hone job removes material and straightens bores. This does not.

Hey man I hate to tell you but your not reaming the ridge from the ring wear..your just cleaning the carbon.. reaming actually cuts metal..you could do this in many other ways

The risk of not flushing air from the system has nothing to do with wear and tear on the starter motor or battery. It's the risk of damage to the high pressure fuel pump downstream of the filter, which is not designed to deal with entrained air.

Hello! Great vid! I'm just wondering if I can use diesel 911 additive instead of injector cleaner?

The way I see it this is a hit or miss with these. Some are flawless and some have many problems.

Talking does no good when it is in fast forward.

How do you access the backup light?

My only concern with your method is you may have removed too much material, causing too large of a gap in the bearings.

What hone u useing

What grit is that hone

Thank you appreciate it

Thanks

I turkey hunt with mine, added a Jebs. 660 headhunter choke tube, and it handles every turkey load fine. I've patterned alot of different ones with no problems, including TSS. Going to add a Meadow creek mount and a red dot.

I pay 100$ per cylinder for this job.I would try it myself now

You were using a reamer that spreads out down in the bore and the cutter comes up as you turn it on its real fine thread center bolt. That kind works great if you have flat top pistons to set the tool base on to make sure it's in line with the bore. If you have dome top pistons or have knocked the pistons on out, then that type cutter is a pain in the ass to get lined up. In that case you need a Lisle 36500 reamer that has 3 pieces that expand in the cylinder, 2 with rollers on them and one with a cutter. You just tighten the center bolt to expand the 3 pieces to get some tension in the bore, and then turn the whole thing with the outer larger hex. Keeping pressure on the tool to keep the 3 ears that hang over the top and ride on the block surface where the head gasket sits.

I am a 53 yo female with a 2013 Volkswagen Passat that “had” a right rear directional bulb out… I followed this video and replaced my bulb (thanks for the part number) all by myself!! I don’t have much money so for 5.47 and your video I replaced my bulb! I feel SO empowered right now!! I can’t thank you enough!!

Is that standard bore?

couldnt u tape off the cylinder right under the ridge, then take some 220 grit wet sand paper and go around the ridge until its somewhat smooth.. im thinking once the tri stone goes in, it should round out the ridge and let the hone do its thing?

Honing cylinders like that will leave cylinder bell mouthed

351M/400 good motor to hone. Crank mains blow out way before the bore goes bad.

So many comments from people that never did enough engines. Cast rings are very forgiving. My grandma could hone a cylinder and it would turn out just fine with cast rings. When you build a bomber race cheap claimer engine, you want everything loose. Now if you are building a high mileage engine you want 250,000 miles out of it, it's put together completely different.

Hi sir after the hone you can use the same piston or you will be installing the big one ?

Good job. Appreciate the video - this was helpful.

I don't like honing, I'd rather rebore

Thanks!! I just changed mine! It helped a lot a single mom! That is avoiding to asking for help. I stopped at auto zone but the guy didn’t know how to do it. So I looked up your video and did it by myself! My 13 years old son was very proud of me 😅 and he learned too Thank you

Out of the box it did not cycle at all federals and Winchesters it didn’t work.

Right on man ! Thanks for the info ! I thought I was going to have to struggle by the looks of that spring !

I don't believe you are reaming the ridge caused by ring wear in the top of the cylinders you are just removing carbon. When ridge reaming is required there is metal that needs to be removed a razor blade won't do that.

Just got a 20ga and it's trash...75 shells.the roll pin sheared in the bolt..

Thanks buddy.

nappa has replacement stones usally

Ball hone is the best.

Have this professionally done with torque plates. You may get a nice looking cly.but it doesnt let you know what the bore taper is!!

Is it worn out and not fix piston?

This is great advice. I have a very thin ridge in an old SBC... mostly carbon. I was going to get a ridge reamer, but this just talked me out of it. 9x outta 10, or better, when I think I can, I can... ...meaning something like your common sense approach is usually better. I've read or viewed too much on the disaster side of using a ridge reamer vs. expected results. Thanks for this!!!

it works? how long does the car drive after such treatment? then the nominal rings and pistons are fitted?

That's to much

Just take it to a machine shop and do it properly.

Mine I just bought it and it jams every time I think it's junk

very good video. thanks

One of the top or bottom tabs was very difficult. By getting the other 3 first, then it was easier to get ot out. Referring to the red light assembly.

Dont listen to the nay sayers. Some of these people forget that the entire point is to do this on a budget, not perfection. It wont be perfect but the whole point of honing is to create a rough surface so the rings and the walls grind themselves perfect in due time and use. Good work for 20 bucks.

That home is not straight it's moving all around it's wobbling what's your own video did this motor turn out okay?
