no you do not use the silica paste. chances are if the machinist is saying you need to you need to go somewhere else. i just went through the same thing. coolant for the hone needs to be oil based, not water based.

my machinist says that he has the propper tooling for my sleeves but couldn't recall wether or not to use the silica past or the oil based coolant. he said he never uses tje glycol based coolant because it is garbage. IDK

IDK i'm starting to feel uneasy about him doing the honing if he is asking ME for info on it.

Ive been to a few machine shops that said, "Oh it doesnt matter, they are all the same." I walked right out the door.
