Cylinder De-glazing Tool

Hello Folks:

Just bought a Lisle Cylinder De-glazing Tool and I understand how to use it. However, what type of oil (if any) should I be using while de-glazing the cylinders?

Look up honing on here and you might find it. Some people use engine oil, I would use three in one oil.

honing oil is the best, but for the samll amount that you will be using, it may be too expensive.
you can use kerosene, it is light enough but you have to keep it flowing, the main idea is to keep the honed material away from the work, hone stone and cyl wall,
I used to use a empty soap bottle, fill it with the fluid, and keep applying it while you hone.

I dont remember , but is this the one that is spring loaded?

Thanks...and yes, it is spring loaded.

just realized you are not too far from me, if you need some help let me know

Thanks for the offer...but let me really screw it up first before I ask for help:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Marvel Mystery Oil, PB Blaster, ATF, sewing maching oil, Diesal fuel/Kerosine. . .anything to float off the debris as you are working the hone. Eventually, you want a cross-hatch pattern at about 30 degrees. My machinist friend says about 50 strokes with a dingle-berry hone does a pretty good job on the stuff he does.

When you are done, use hot soapy water (dishsoap) and a brush to flush all the honed surfaces to remove metal filings and grit from the honed surfaces. A circular toilet brush does a great job to help the scubby bubbles. Dry it off and shoot it down with some oil to prevent corrosion.

More good advice...thanks KZC:)
