Re: Re-Ringing pistons Questions

On my old car I honed the block in the car, re-ringed the cylinders, and replaced one piston. I used motor oil for lube on the cylinder walls while honing, taped off the coolant and oil passages, then scrubbed the heck out of the cylinders with warm soapy water to get any abrasives out. Re-ringin was easy, just make sure you put the ring gaps in the proper spots. Definately put a rubber hose or something over the rod studs so u dont scrape the journals.
