Paul,
these flex hones work great when you have no tapper to the bore, but the
will agravate the any tapper that may exist. Another point to concider
is that the tool cost about the same as boring 1/3 of your cylinders at
a machine shop and you still need to remove the engine to do the job
properly ie: clean up and residue from honing. Most shops charge
$50.00/hole for boring, so go for the extra cc's and extra compression
for even more power! Remember there is no substute for cubic inches!

OK... the cyls look fine so I'm planning on new 9:1 flatop
pistons and rings. The cyls are mirror smooth and
as noted... need the glaze broken.
QUESTION....
What's the best way to do this while removing minimal material?
Can I get away with a scotch brite (green scrubby pad)?
Do I need to go the full stone bore route?.... use a Flex-hone
(bead hone brush.. http://www.brushresearch.com/flexhonetools.htm
to get the diamond pattern back?
