Im not sure if this is the right thread to put it in but I dont think it can go anywhere else.

I need a tool to cross hatch my cylinders but I cant seem to find this tool anywhere. Im not even sure of its actual name. If anybody can point me in the right direction as to where i can buy it I would really apritiate it.

Its a d16z6 with stock bore.

Thanks.

 

You need a cylinder honing machine. Your local engine building machine shop has one. You can't get the precision required with the crap that chucks into a hand drill. It'ss worth the money to have it done by a pro with the right tools.

 

you can get a ball hone at most auto parts stores or maybe rent one. its easy!

 

Ball hones are simple and cheap, just use a cordless drill on slow. Works nice for just freshing up the bore for new rings.

 

is a handheld drill really a good idea to be honing your cylinders with??

at least something along the lines of a drill press would be better, that way you dont lean one way or the other accidentally....

Nope, hence the rec. to go spend the money at a machine shop. Besides, if all that's being done is a light hone, it'll be more expensive to go buy a crappy ball hone and spend the hours of frustration that will ensue (and then take it to a shop to get fixed) when it doens't come out right.
