8. Using a suitable ridge reamer tool, clean the top of
the cylinder bore; then using a ball hone, hone the
cylinders to produce a 45-55° cross-hatch.
NOTE: To produce the proper 45-55° cross-hatch
pattern, use a low-RPM drill (600 RPM) at the rate
of 25 strokes per minute. Use honing oil or light-
weight petroleum-based oil. Thoroughly clean the
cylinder after honing using soap and hot water.
Dry with compressed air; then immediately apply
engine oil to the cylinder bore. If the bore is
severely scored or out of round, the cylinders must
be bored.
! WARNING
Always wear safety glasses when using compressed
air.
9. Lightly coat all non-painted surfaces, thread bores,
and cap screw threads with clean engine oil.
