Nice to know some of the magic that is happening when I send my block to machine shop. Also, makes is clear why a simple honing in my garage is not really enough in most cases. Thanks for the clear, concise and easy spoken video and kudos to the camera guy too!

Your are a great teacher. I’ve been a machinist for 27 years. I program and setup cnc lathes but I’ve been kicking around starting a machine shop for machining engine blocks. This was very very informative!

Good video @Mr. French. I have been using Sunnen honing equipment for over twenty years, even have a Sunnen CV616 in my own garage. It was interesting to see the Rottler in action as I deal with about a dozen engine shops and they all have the Sunnen machines. I have never seen another brand power stroke hone in person, or watched such descriptive video about one. So thank you for learning me something🍻

It’s now the second video I watched. I’m getting soon trained as an engine machinist and these videos are great and helpful towards my training 👍

If ya'll had a Sunnen CK10 you'd sell that Rottler.........I think you're a great instructor. I wish more young men getting out of high school would get into more technical fields.

Vic you are the best5!

You are amazing. The information just flows. Thank you.

What a sincere teacher. Dedicated to his professio. Kudos.

Phenomenal video series. THANK YOU SIR!! What a great benefit to your students you are.

Very good instructor that would be the school too go well done

Great video i had no idea how these things worked great job Sir.

Thanks for this interresting vidéo. Choie of stones , roughness Ra , angle between ‘scratches’ , end’s gap. As you say, final cleaning is very important and must be done.

Damn, using spindle load to monitor size is pretty smart !

with the Chrysler blocks they want you to torque the motor mounts on to them because that distorts the cylinders on either side

I used to use a Sunnen machine.. I too didn’t see much distortion from the main caps, but a torque plate and head gasket made a big difference. I’ve seen lots of videos lately where they use WD40 and a three finger auto parts store hone! Makes these machines obsolete! LolJust kidding. Thanks for the good video.

you can easy see the teacher who has never drilled a cylinder except at school . but it starts here, the experience comes in real life😄😄

Awesome

Sunnen bore gauges are the best even on Rottler hone!

Independent scientist I had developed a new form of Palmer that I am going to apply to the piston rings and cylinder walls it will enter the composite deleting the friction issue but yet given it great compression I like your video in technology this is something new ub1 I figured would appreciate it

Great

Yes torque plate!!!

Has anyone ever used one of the tables that the kwik way boring bar is sitting on. I think it let's you bore off the mains.

Good

There is allot of internet questions regarding the final bore surface finish. I have rebuilt a number of engines and some manuals specify the exact hone to use. The finish for cast iron rings is specified in Micro-inches at around 25-30 with a cross hatch of 30 degrees. Some specify a 180 grit ball hone and some recommend a 220 grit hone which should obtain around the 20-35 micro inch finish. You mentioned a hone near 400 grit which seams too fine for cast rings. Can you respond to this?

👌👍🌿

That does a way better job than the AutoZone loaner honer.

Whats the story with different size pistons?

Explain to me why you would not use a moly top ring in this

Mr French ,I enjoying your video, because I Am retired Railroad Shop Manager ,And had very good Machines , now I Am doing Aircraft Engine and I am looking for Aircraft Engine Cylinders Honing ,which I need , where are you located it please let me know

Want to help in my SG motor

Dudes on KZfaq think their $89 dingle ball hone is doing the same at this $65K machine.

Helps me sleep
