fletchndebs Posted April 19, 2010 Report Posted April 19, 2010 Hi I have a plated cylinder with half a melted piston stuck to it, is it possible to hone this or will honing it damage the plating?? Cheers Fletch
cagimaha Posted April 19, 2010 Report Posted April 19, 2010 As far as I know it's not possible. I would also guess that melted piston to bore would be a bit of a pain to remove with a hone. What bike is it?
Tim Radley Posted April 20, 2010 Report Posted April 20, 2010 You can use an aluminium oxide flexhone, say 320 grit to clean up the bore and make it good for fresh rings. But the bore will need checking carefully after you have removed the aluminium to make sure there is no damage to the plating. If possible check it also with a bore mic.
