Honing?


Engine honing is the process in which a mechanic uses fine-grade stones to deglaze the cylinder walls of an engine block before the pistons are put back into the engine. This assures a tight, leak-free fit between the piston rings and the cylinder walls

- Tue Sep 20, 2011 2:19 pm #273110 I've used total seal once before with good results. Im not expert on piston rings, but as long as their properly gaped and installed I dont think the brand matters much...
