    I have used a 4 stone cylinder hone to bore out .25 mm over , but doing this I was able to bore it out a full inch and install a chevy 350 piston on my bike, Thanks bro.

    I like how you demystify mechanical operations. After watching this last video, it gave me the confidence to go out to the garage and wrestle that old /69 CB750 Four engine out, strip it down to oil pan, right there on the floor. All new gaskets from a top quality beer cast. new seals all round with hemp rope. Only the best, just like you. Bored out with a coke bottle and sand and finish honed with your great device and varsol. It leaks a little oil, but that will seal when it heats up after I get it out in the spring. I'm really looking forward to taking her out for that first spring ride. On the up side, this whole adventure has been a win, win experience I have an aces fresh rebuild, just wanting to go and almost enough parts left over to build another engine. thanks

    Another rake armature dispening bad advise, he shows using A&H to hone the cylinder. Throw that shit out, use only Colgate when honing! Do it right or don't even bother. Totally forgot to spit and rinse when done honing too.Only thing nise I can say is he does have safetee googles.was worth the 3:08, real hoot. great matter-of-fact tone in the narration, adds credibility and believability. You have a future in junk bond sales.

I had to use a LOT of cylinder tape to make it fit, but I think it just looks cool now that I can actually watch the piston move up and down between the cooling fins...BAD ASS!

    ALWAYS use either KY jelly or Apple ( not Grape) jelly as a premium lubricant on suck precise boring and honing applications. Almost all cylinder head cracks can be filled in with black shoe polish. Putting a teaspoon of sand in with your new oil change will eliminate sludge in your crankcase. A few drops of local honey will seal cracks in your battery.

    Dang it! I’ve been using generic aluminum foil from giant eagle this whole time to enlarge my pistons. No wonder customers have been calling me wanting to know why they had strange clicking noises from their cylinder area. I simply told them it needed a break in period of 300 hours. But it Has to be the aluminum foil brand I’m using.
