Did you deglaze the cylinders and go with std. rings
or did you precision hone and go .010 oversize??
if you went oversize with a precision hone,
did the dial bore gauge indicate out of round or tapered cylinder condition before you started?
With a Sunnen precision hone you can feel the tightness at the bottom of the bore and the looseness at the top as you increase the diameter SLOWELY taking
time to check your progress with your bore gauge.
As you approach the desired clearance you will feel and see the bore has cleaned up with no spots remaining.
Within a few tho to desired diameter, you change to fine stones to complete *45 cross hatch pattern.
One has to be careful as in just a few strokes you can go too far and the diameter is over the limit.
Make sure your 5 gallon pail you have the jug submerged in has enough Kerosene to completely submerge the jug so at no time the hone is above the
fluid,
and make sure the hone comes out of the top/bottom of the bore an inch or so insuring that the bore is true throughout its length.
Doing a single cylinder is not a difficult task, but a 8 cylinder engine
will wear a fellow out in a hurry and not recommended.
OH, a SLOW rpm drill is very beneficial so you can control the cross hatch pattern and diameter of the job.
