I'm getting ready to re ring my 292 I have all my parts. But i'm a bit nervous about honing the cylinder. I've never done this before. It seems like this is one of the most important steps yet everyone has their own way to do it. So i'm asking the engine builders out there for tips and tricks for honing cylinders and seating rings.

What i was planning. I have an adjustable hone that looks similar to a 3 jaw puller that's spring loaded and has 3 bar shaped honing stones. I was told this was ideal for a used bore. But that the "dingle ball" stones were preferable for a fresh bore.

I was told to use wd-40 to lube the cylinder as I use a slow moving electric drill and hone tool to remove glaze and create score marks that are at roughly 45 degrees to the deck.

Then scrub the cylinder with a nylon brush and soapy water. Rinse clean.

Before assembly coat bearings cylinder, piston and rings with assembly lube. place rubber hose over threads on the rod's studs to protect cylinder and install piston into cylinder with ring compressor tool using a handle of a screwdriver and hammer to tap in piston.

Finish installing rod using torque spec (which I have the y block book for) and I've got it from there.

Sound about right?
