hotajax 209 #1 Posted March 28, 2020 Project for next winter. I can mostly figure out how to put stuff back together. But my big question: How much "oversize" do I want in the rings after honing out the cylinder? Or is it a question of how much cylinder is left after honing out the scoring marks? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZXT 2,394 #2 Posted March 28, 2020 It's mainly a question of inspecting the bore for wear and seeing if it'll take a re-ring. Many people will come up and say have it bored no matter what - I have seen more than a few engines that were well worn take a re-ring and last a long time. I'd say if you pull it apart, inspect the bore for damage, and find that it doesn't have much of a ring ridge at the top of the bore, you'll probably be fine to throw a set in it. You will use standard sized rings if it is still standard bore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,540 #3 Posted March 28, 2020 Unless you have the proper measuring devices and know how to use them I would advise you to take tha block and crankshaft to an engine machine shop. You can spend a lot of money on parts and be disappointed with the results if you don't do it right. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
