[6pack] Corrosion in cylinder bores

[Ruffner, James A *HS]

I would not suggest the use of the wet-or-dry sand paper.  You could use the
emery cloth like that used for the final polishing of journals on cranks.
However, a "deglazing" hone is the appropriate method.  Don't worry about
removing too much material.  You could not take hardly any off by using your
hands.

I procrastinated too long on engine re-assembly.   Now I see the
beginnings of corrosion in one of the bores.   It's more like staining
than rust at this point.   What's the best to do?   Will a quick
polish with 400 or 1000 grit paper do any harm?   Can't imagine it
will take more than .0005 off the bore...   Other alternatives?
