That makes sense. Prudence is mother of financial shrewdness. Hope it can be honed to avoid new over bore as your new rings would then be moot.

BS. Just cut, hone, file, and grind away. If you screw up you can just fill it with metal later.

D-Ral - the comment was pointed at the possible need to re-bore his cylinders. Since he initially gave them a less than optimal honing, he was taking them to a machinist for inspection/hone. So I am missing why that is not prudent or how he could approach it otherwise. If I am missing something, I would love to know some more secrets to help save me some money on current and future projects.

Or are we talking about two different things? I certainly don't want to be proposing improper advice to anyone.

Thanks-

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

I think D-Ral might have the wrong end of the stick, with all respect of course. The comment doesn't appear to bear much relation to what we're discussing here. Never heard of anyone filling cylinders with metal before  ???

Fill cylinder divots with metal??  I must not be understanding this correctly.
