CYLINDER HONE SELECTION / HONING

Selecting a hone which will straighten as well as

remove material from the cylinder is very important.

Using a common spring loaded finger type glaze

breaker for honing is never advised. Polaris

recommends using a rigid hone or arbor honing

machine which also has the capability of oversizing.

hone manufacturer's recommendations. Wet honing

removes more material faster and leaves a more distinct

pattern in the bore.

It is very important that the cylinder be thoroughly

cleaned after honing to remove all grit material. Wash the

cylinder in a solvent, then in hot, soapy water. Pay close

attention to areas where the cylinder sleeve meets the

aluminum casting. Use electrical contact cleaner if

necessary to clean these areas. Rinse thoroughly, dry

with compressed air, and oil the bore immediately with
