Just honed my sleeved block, I was able to get nice, even, uniformed finish, however, the cross hatch is more like 35-40*. I used a three stone tool with 400 grit. I think the rpm was a little to high because it was moved up and down very swiftly.

Will the rings seat??

 

ive honed my blocks in many diff ways.. and yes they will seat.

 

Thats good news for me.........all I need to hear now is that there is a slight possibility that a used 2nd comp ring among all new rings may seat with that fresh hone....or at least work for a while with out smoking. Broke one of the new ones.

hold on...... you have a fresh sleeved block, and you just honed it out yourself with what ? a hand drill ? what are you using to measure your bore's ?

 

the ring i would not skimp on. buy a set of new .. they are cheap.. why put all the work into that and use a used ring.

your better off using all the old rings then and putting new ones in when u can

 

Actually, you're better off getting new rings from a.a. parts or just waiting til your new ones come in the mail.
