    The machine shops have a finish hone that is made to final size the bore/ set the right clearance and cross hatch pattern in the cylinder. It's not your normal run if the mill hone they cost around 400+.
    If its on the internet its got to be true they can't put any lie's on the internet

    So I found another shop outside of town that has a power hone or something like that. Only having to remove about .3mm from the cylinder. Still nobody within 1.5 hours that has the setup to bore atv cylinders. Took cylinder and piston to him today. Should have it tomorrow. I also don't plan on selling my other cylinders. I want to use them to learn on basically. I've been told by many that they have honed small amounts like I'm needing to do and had no issues. Only hear otherwise from people who's buddies did it and did not work. Maybe I like to learn the hard way, but thats why I have plenty to play with. I wouldn't run the risk of ruining one if I didn't. Also being on the stock bore still, if I did mess it up somehow, I guess then I could make the drive somewhere to have it fixed right. lol.

    I just have very few options where I'm at. If there is any way possible that I can do the work myself without having to take it somewhere to be done, I'd rather spend the money on the tools for the job and do it myself. Thats part of the enjoyment of owning things like this to me I guess. I appreciate all the feedback regardless. I went ahead and ordered a 3 stone hone online last night. I have a 185 cylinder that I'm going to play with it on. I've got about 3 of those engines sitting in my garage right now that I know nothing about. lol

    .
    one problem is the difficulty of accurately measuring the bore once its done because it takrs experience to use snap gauges properly and a lot of money for a bore micrometer.

    you can't just hone it to size and then visually look at it to see if it is true or not.

    you also can not ride it afterward and then say that it would not run better if it was done properly because you dont have a properly bored cylinder to compare to.

    Well I will have this one done from the shop tomorrow. It'll be a bit before I get the other together.
