[blasterfreek30]

[quadguy80]

a stone hone or ball hone. all the ones we have at the shop are way too big

 

[blasterfreek30]

its a stone one, but watch u dont hook the ports when honing it

A ball hone is ideal.
I tried a stone hone and snagged the ports immediately

 

[quadguy80]

Ive used a stone hone for my banshee cylinders and the blaster and I have not had any problems catching a port.

I want to add that the ports in my jug are pretty big.

are you guys saying you can personally hone your own cylinders!?

 

[blasterfreek30]

thats what we are saying

 

[Paulie B]

Yeah you sure can and it's very convenient.

how hard is it?

 

[Paulie B]

It's butt easy. You mount the hone in a drill and work it up and down the cylinder. Experience will give you the perfect 45 degree cross hatch marks.

i dont know what that is

They are the criss cross marks that retain the oil the keep your rings from wearing out immediately.
