crosshatch angle?
« on: June 16, 2009, 04:06:58 AM »
i'm honing the cylinders for new rings on the k4 750 today and i'mn wondering what anglei should have it at? i cant remember what they told me at AMI. of course this being a street bike longeivity is a good thing but iAM going to an 836 or 850 this winter maybe. whats the difference in wear length between using a 45 degree or 60 degree crosshatch if it's properly broken in?

With 45 being optimal, less angle is better than more for longevity.

What type of rings are you using?  I always had good results with plain cast for a re-ring job, but I'm new to these Hondas so I don't know any ins-outs specific to them or what's available.
