just go to your local auto parts store and buy a hone ... slap it in your drill and hit it up.

I'm going to say you need the oil since that's the way it's always done.
Do these honing tools also measure bore? Or will you mic it as you go along? Just curious how you'll keep it within spec...

mmm idk i didn't think i need to do that, cause i am only scuffing up the cylinder so the rings will seal properly ..

i just wanna state for the record that its not just as simple
as getting at tool for a dremmel and grinding away...

as stated above...the bore needs to be measured and
needs to be cut to spec. if its not then your gonna
have a ton of issues. trust me take it to a shop to be
properly bored.

i have my cylinder honed every time i do a rebuild. listen to wiesco....

My local shops even ask for the piston in order to bore/hone, they won't work with out it..
I would like to think you can get away with doing it on your own, thought bout it many times myself but never dared!
