Thats a hone,not a boring bar. :woohoo:

that is why it will take up to one hour to bore a cylinder.

So how exactly do you think a spring loaded hone will make an out of round cylinder round? It is made to follow the existing bore shape,not recreate a circle out of an egg.

Most,not all automotive machine shops dont have a clue about motorcycle machine work.

Of course they don't. That is because car cylinders are round and bike cylinders are square.

You MUST be joking.

You really need to re think this car5 ...... were talking a couple 10 thousands between running good and lasting and not.....

I need stones springloaded with limited movement. That means the tool has to be modified somehow. So it wouldn't work.
I don't get engines with bad cylinders very often.

Go for it !!!! If it works then you may have come up with a mythbuster (or luck).....if not....well, then it's back to the drawing board.

I bought Dodge Stealth with heads removed in 95, I think. Didn't know anything about engine repair. I had a service manual. Paid about 3k for it, sold for 7k.
About a year ago I bought 02 Jaguar X-type with manual transmission. I repaired one connecting rod journal. My wife drove it for about a year before I sold it.
What do you do? Repair bike engines?

I've repaired everything from chain saws to Ford big blocks and beyond. I'd buy Honda CVCC's for next to nothing, fix them and sell them. Talk about complicated, 50+ vacuum hoses, censers of all types, etc. These bike are simple compared. One thing holds true, the right tool for the job.
Back in the day I would fit a .5 over piston in a dirt bike. No way would I attempt to go over that on any engine. I've taken short cuts out of need but it is only until I could do it right down the road. :whistle:

I do a little of this and a little of that. The BBC in my avatar is my improved version of a zz502 chevy with breathed on iron rect port 990 heads and a few other tweaks,which makes more than enough hp and torque to send that jag trans and independent rear suspension of yours running to the back of the garage with its 1/2 shafts between its legs. :laugh:

Nicely put :woohoo:

There is nothing faster than my Jaguar with 2.5 Ford engine in it!
Now I have S-type with 3.0 V6. It is so fast you cannot even see it passing you!

600hp and 560 ft lbs of torque on 91 octane pump gas would do wonders for that little jag. :woohoo:

Check and MATE. :woohoo:
