Not sure about using a hone on plated cylinder? I thought that would remove the plating? Unless you are going to use a flex hone and not a stone hone. I just used some scotch bright pads on my first rebuild.

I don't think hes got a coated cylinder. I'm not positive though.
Those are air cooled engines, I don't believe there plated cylinders.
Steel Sleeves is the only way to go. You get countless ring changes, bore changes, and excellent heat dissipation.
I use a straight hone on a ported 2T cylinder, and a ball type on 4T cylinder.
I'll post a video when I do it. Just scratch a nice crosshatch for oil retention on break-in. -BIG DAN

Now that I have investigated her internals the parts list needed updating.
Now with crank bearing/seals, big end bearing, rings, clips, pin, and all transmission bearings, I am up over $1100. It will basically bring this motor to ZERO hours. I am fully excited about this build. It literally is EVERY consumable component being changed!

Yo Yo Yo!
Split cases this week. Everything inside looks exceptionally good. Big thanks to Timo for helping me out with a tool I didn't have!
Still haven't been able to pull the trigger on any parts yet, but all in due time...
LH fine threads for the balancer hub!
LH threaded hub
Stator!
Dry side crank seal is just starting to get some visible seepage. Cavity is DRY though.

More and More and More...
1 crank, 3 transmission, and the clutch pull bearings were pretty much seized. I'm glad I got in here when I did. They were about to burn or spin a race.
To put these bearings into perspective, here's a quarter next to the crank bearings!
$172 charged to my visa for renting this tool from Autozone. No other tool on earth will do this job. When a bearing is truly "blind," it's worth the $172. Luckily I get my money back when I return it!
