@@powellmachineinc The top of the cylinder is the most important, as that's where the rings are holding the most pressure. Would much rather the cylinder be round and a couple tenths big than tapered. Ring has a much harder time trying to follow a tapered cylinder.
Love your channel man my first job out of high school was a machine shop. I was very fortunate to have some Ole timers in there that took me under there wing and taught me the right way.

Until someone actually works in a machine shop, they just don't realize the things involved in setting up a bore or how its measured out to get the correct size. I was working with men who did this for a living, they took me in a place to just watch how they got it the right way. This was over thirty years ago... sadly even those ways are antiquated as your new tools make you aware of how it is an how it should be. Technology has grown faster than most folks realize. Good or bad, "It is what it is" and how we all learn those important things.
Maybe Ray couldn't use a Sunnen but he could sing and play the piano. Appreciate that your shop is clean as most machine shops are a wreck. Keep the great content coming.
Excellent! I see a lot of videos of guys using the profilometer and spew readings like I’m supposed to know what they all mean. Your explanations of Rpk and Rvk were very helpful. I’d love to know what all the rest of the readings actually mean in practice. Good stuff 🤓
Excellent technical information in discussing the stone grit vs surface finish. Looking forward to an update video with the different stones. Keep up the great work!
I understand exactly what you are talking about. My father was an engin builder transmission rebuilder and what not. He owned his own shop for 50 plus years. He always tought me that we will never bore a block until he has the new pistons for exact measurements.
Thank you for the great vids … your FT lifter vids are some of the best info on the topic I’ve watched . Depending on the cylinder material … and hardness of course … an old GM block, Darton sleeves, a new aftermarket block My current program on Dart SHP builds … measuring at 225 Brinell … 170 diamond first cut to exact size with lighter load, should give about 500 Rz. Plateau with 600 CBN light load, (CBN sharper than diamond) to an Rpk of 7-9 µin … and then burnish with brush or blocks to knock off the ‘fuzz’ Done.
Good info, I always took in the block and pistons and just trusted what they did, may explain some of the failures I had, just took it for granted the machine shop knew what they were doing, fml, lol...!!!!!
😂, had a similar thing happen, got a block in that another company did, not only did it have almost a thousands taper, smaller at the bottom, but also chatter marks at the bottom...... Had to dwell it at the bottom, but got it right.... Another great video!
I really enjoyed this video. Great to see small machine shops being a le to dig into the details of a cylinder surface finish. 20 years ago i worked for a Marine OEM and we were working through a ring/piston scuff issue. Being an OEM we had to run diamo d hone stones and if the stones were worn or dull they would smear the metal instead of cutting cleanly. i belive the metric was % of "torn and folded metal". There may be better metris/ controls now. I just mention it as somthing to keep in mind, better to be a little aggressive with the plateau and not have a smeared finish.
🤣🤣 I think your dead pan delivery needs work and I wondered if you were going to make it through it. LOL I was already laughing by the time you cracked. LMAO
Hi Daniel, interesting video, we are all learning and progress for you! I under stand you can use that profilometer for gasket surfaces also! Got to love those tools!! Great job Daniel!👍👍👍
Dan, we used to start race engines on the dyno with petroleum based oil. After break in, we would switch it over to synthetic, mostly due to cylinder finish. We worried about ring seal. As technology progressed, we started getting better at the cylinder finish, and then we could first start them with synthetic. Besides the fact of getting way better cylinder pressures.
That dial bore gauge looks a lot like mine - except mine does smaller holes, 0.8 to 1.5 inches. I bought it for doing “model engines” having bores in that range…
I'm glad you didn't ever see any of mine when I got started. Self thought it's taken a lot on the learning level. My machines are manual stroke so it's all in me and timing
Would it be better to hone a block with a torque plate or not? Having to block under stress with head torque on it would that give you a better idea of measurements? Enjoy your videos keep them coming thank you.
Very informative . . . but I do have a question. What is the gauge line and where on the piston is it located? *_Andrew_* . . great video and editing work. It makes it all so much easier to understand.
I don’t do machine shop anymore I miss it I did work at 2 different shops the 2nd one was for a guy that raced at Daytona when they raced on the beach his name was LB Micheal’s
When a factory block is honed they use one head with literally three sets of stones three cones the heads complete were around $15000.00 each the machines have 48 spindles a diamond ream for both crank and cam same for balance shaft if present the reamers are used like a regular reamer the honing process is done with diamond not aluminum oxide or silicon carbide there is one manufacturer that only uses silicon carbide on a perfect bore less then 3 micron from a perfectly round bore just to get a crosshatch. The direction they were going was a mirror finish with an engineered laser pattern oil retention folowed by a mirror toping to knock down stubble left by laser you can not see the pattern after topping there is no grit number to make a comparison totaly different process all done in under a minute. It would require a different ring costing an Additional Dollar, thats right One dollar nixed it, but it was the only way to meet oil consumption requirements. So goes another 3-5 million engines over the life of a program one dollar is that big of a deal. Who uses the silicon carbide stone Sorry that is confidential and must remain that way If you have the right equipment to measure cylinder roundness it is obvious.
When talking about the data on your electronic reader is that telling the cross hatch pattern or the depth of the grooves that the stone leaves behind, a bit of curiosity for me. I know you said about moving to a 600 stones plus never seen that electronic reader before.
Definitely hilarious but imo squareness of the cylinder is more important than it being .001" oversized. When the cylinder has a tapper, the rings can't expand fast enough on its way back up at higher rpms to maintain the seal. I haven't tested it but have seen a poor dingle ball honed engine that I've tore apart where the owner said it would lose power about 3500-4k. The only issue I found was .0025 of tapper, top to bottom. After some research, with other people experiencing the same seneraio that had to be it. I'm not sure what the tolerances are and am not bashing you in any way. Just wanted to hear you thoughts on what I've experienced.
Some machinists are using a bristle set of stones to get the finish you want. Lake Speed has been proposing using the roughest stone/diamond to start with and the smoothest finish stone/diamond/bristle you can find. Obviously, different block manufacturers will require a different approach. The end deal is more oil captive in the cylinder wall decreases wear.
Believe it or not stock ls 6.2 piston to wall clearance is -.002 to +.001 due to the way the piston is designed and how it expands when it is heated the tight gets looser and the loose gets tight
Legitimate question here, if you've got a cylinder with excessive taper that's too tight at the bottom can't you short stroke it to clean up the bottom and then finish it with a few full strokes to make it uniform?
@@powellmachineinc Thank You, I appreciate your taking the time to reply. I find it amazing how bad some of the stuff you get in is and yet most of the time you're able to save it. But like you say it's easy to take metal away it's a lot harder to try and put it back.
To machine the cylinder you need to know the property of the aluminum and know how much they will grow when they get hot and you bore and hone to the pistons, not a standard number. Remember the old Dodge, they were bored to a fractional size, not a standard bore like 4.125, 4.135 etc..

The cylinder is doing the same, it's hot at the top, the cylinder should be small at the top if anything.
It looks like someone got a cheap Harbor Freight hone and hand drill for Christmas
I've always thought, let the machinist source the pistons as the hand on the tools know what pistons are junk and which ones are good.
Yup
So…the monotone man does have a sense of humor.
