I take a cylinder with all kinds of problems and bring it back into shape and ready to use! Dissolving aluminum stuck to the bore, measuring, setting piston side clearance and fixing a taper. It's all here and you could do it too - with some measuring tools and good quality hone.

Nutter I think you meant. " The Solution is Dilution" Could be new T-shirt along with "The Junkyard Provides" and "Good Enough for Who its For". Nice content, thanks!

John I use atf after honing a cylinder you be surprised how clean they turn out with the ATF and a clean rag

@nuttersspeedshop 6 ай бұрын

Never heard that, but I'll try it with white paper towels and see if it pulls out the same amount of crud from the cross hatch.

I think that Lisle is a 16000? I have a Lisle 15000 that I have successfully used to hone a 290ss cylinder 76mm bore (errr...maybe one or two over that). I have no doubt that the Sunnen is better (and this video makes me want to buy one), but at least it's low buck and big enough for the bigger cylinders for anybody out there that wants to give it a go. Also Harbor freight sells a heavy duty low rpm drill 0-600 rpm which is pretty beastly and about half the rpm of typical corded drills. They call it a "spade handle drill/mixer". It's hard to control most typical corded drills slow enough and a nice cordless drill with a "low gear" is great but this sucks down the battery in a hurry and it will be HOT. Obviously the mill is better, maybe a drill press (haven't tried).

It's a 16000. never had a 15000. Is it bigger/better?

@MrStorbeck 6 ай бұрын

@@nuttersspeedshop I can confirm that it's bigger. I have very limited experience with it or hones in general so can't say much about "better".

I’m guessing ur full time job is machining. I went to wahpeton nd for machine tooling. U know a lot of the trade words.

@Z-Bart 6 ай бұрын

But Nutter I don't have a milling machine so you're still getting my cylinders if I need them honed. Carry on.

Yep Todd did, just maybe a little too fast. I was always taught 1/2 the speed, twice the feed!

Wow ! great video !! I am going to do my jug's on my triple !! trying to deglaze them. is there a better way to do that or what to use ! { oil or something els ! } I have 240 grt stones !Oh we got some snow at -20 LOL !! Greater Napanee Ont.

@nuttersspeedshop 6 ай бұрын

A ball hone is just fine if you only need to deglaze. Straight stones are also good for cast iron, but I would never use the straight stones on nicasil or chrome cylinders, 240 sounds about right. Should be fine.
