This is awesome. I have some cylinders to bore and thought of this same idea after watching blondihack's video on line boring. Funny how you can have a great idea, then almost always find somebody on youtube who already did it 😂
You might want to watch some of my updated videos before you try this, so that you can learn from my mistakes. I will just tell you what happened and what I did wrong. I was nervous about the finish quality of my boring, so I left WAY TOO MUCH material behind. I was worried that if I didn't' leave a lot to hone out, I wouldn't be able to hone out some imperfections. What happened is during the honing process, my cylinders went out of round and in the end ruined my cylinders. I left about 1mm .040" behind and should have left maybe .010 - .015" It wasn't obvious when building the engine, so I didn't find out until after testing, when my compression on 2 cylinders dropped to almost nothing. There's more to the story than this, but this is the basic idea. Good luck.
Joel i have used that same hone to overbore cylinders for a few years now. It doesn't take long with the coursest set of stones to get to 10 thou over, maybe 10 minutes or so per cylinder. I was actually getting started on my 1100 yamaha today using the same hone because my fowler cylinder bore gauge and micrometers came in. I took 5 thou off one cylinder after I had checked cylinder taper, x and y axis with the three point gauge and after of course checked again, the hone is truing the cylinder aswell. Im really happy with the results. Like I said I've done this before plenty just never with a bore gauge to accurately measure progress and results. Cheers.
@@Jacobskibros Amazon, idk i have this one and the smaller version. Like 150 each i think. I just about got that 1100 ready for pistons currently with only using this hone. The cylinder was .0015 tapered and I bored it .008, that corrected the taper back to .0005 im stoked. Jacob you would be proud that only 5th scale learned how to use a micrometer today lol.
Yeah. I was able to take material off pretty quickly with the Lisle 15000. and if I only had to go .020 to freshen the engine up, then I would have done that, but I had to take a little over .040. It can still totally be done with these rigid hones for sure. I had an issue with the racks on mine and it was causing it to wobble a lot. I contacted the company and they responded right away saying they would send me new parts. Great service. I think I trust the rigid hone (when it's working properly) before I trust the lathe to true up the bore. Keep watching this series and you will find out the "real" reason I am using my lathe to bore out these cylinders, haha. I've said too much. This message will self destruct in 3...2...1...
@@Jacobskibros I got mine on ebay and payed Canadian money so it was a fair bit... I would highly recommend one of these. I you are careful and patient, you can bore cylinders to whatever size you want. Like 5th said... it's about a minute per thou.
Good stuff, it’s interesting to see what goes into making that 1100 run again. Running the machine to recut the cylinder bores is time consuming but how cool is it that you are able to do that you’re self. 🤘👍
Something happens in this video that is a trick / clue to a plan that I have for the future, but I'm not saying anything more about it at this point, and it's pretty hard to figure out, haha. I like being able to do this myself. It's not practical in many ways, but I enjoy tinkering around and I'd rather do a decent job doing it myself than pay someone else to do it. For someone who has a decent lathe.... this would be a pretty easy project as they usually have T slos on the cross slide (and are not so flexible) but I actually had to drill and tap holes in mine lol.

Where did you get the hone from and how much do they cost?

@@2_be_determined Nice! Still I prefer the eyecrometer. I like the idea of a hone that doesn't take forever!

Hi mate, love the video, very informative, cheers
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice to see that thing working out! Very interested to see what you do for electronics.
