is there really a difference from a experienced veteran honing it or a machine hone? i want to throw in some ITR pistons and not sure if i should have a buddy manually hone it or send to a machine shop. what are the differences?

If your buddy knows what he's doing and won't screw anythingthing up, then let him do it. I've seen motors come out great after manually honing them.

I honed mine!!!! It is pretty easy if you read up on it!!!!!!! AutoZone has honeing tools for about 25 bucks.

I suggest getting a Haynes manual and reading before you or your buddy do it. Unless you have expereince.

well if your engine is not to badly used ( long mileage, been abused) then you should be fine just bust out the pistons rings from your old pistons ( wouldn't do it but you can as a cheap alternative) and put them on the new itr pistons. if they cylinder walls look ovaled try a machine shop to hone it. las tthing you want is to do it and have oil blow by and putting as much oil as you put gas in your car . good luck bro
