Default Cylinder honing

As long as I have my K241 engine apart to install a new cam shaft/gear/ACR, I thought it would be a good time to hone the cylinder - I've never done one before and was wondering which kind of hone to use. I understand that I'll need a 3-1/4" or 83 mm diameter hone.

Here's the ones I'm looking at:

Any preferences or advice?

I recommend the bottle brush hone. It doesn't do as nice a job as the 3 stone hone, but it is easier to use and if you do brake a stone the hone is still usable.

The reason for DEGLAZING a cylinder is to allow new rings to seat properly.
You do not want to DEGLAZE and re ring a cylinder if it is tapered, out of round or egg shaped beyond tolerance.
A quality/experienced machine shop will have the precision tools to determine that. ( Dial bore gauge)
An experienced person can measure using a Telescoping gauge & micrometer.
Most times a rebore and oversize piston and rings is needed.
Yes, a half assed repair is slapping in new rings and hoping for the best.
Do as you see fit, just trying to give the correct procedure.
Also the Crankshaft crank pin needs to be measured for out of round/taper using a micrometer, not a caliper.

Indeed. I accept your recommendation to "Do as you see fit."
I will.
Thanks for such an informed response.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
