OK, so I just got my block back (the second time) from a shop I just tried for the first time and the last. They finally got the bore right but they didn't coat the block and now some surface rust has developed on the cylinder walls before I came after it. Sooo, I wanted to try the brush anyway and figured that this would be a good way to clean up the walls. The hone isn't smooth enough anyway. My question is how aggressive are these things. I have no room really to spare before the new P73-00's I got are not going to work. Based on the concept it should work on just a finish and not remove much metal if I'm correct. Aslo, where is the best place to get one? Never used one so fire away....

Yeah, I was thrilled. Figured I'd give them a shot on something small for the first time, basic hone job. I was looking for someone local that i could use for basics that wouldn't require shipping or a two hour drive. Lesson learned.

Don,
Thank you. I just got thier catalog, I'll get that coming. P.S. My home modem is fucked so I can only squeeze in quick e-mails from the shop when I have the ocassional second. I will be emailing that parts list asap.
