engine block cylinder honing

Jul 03, 2008 2 Replies

I own a 2001 Toyota Tacoma that I had to take the crankshaft out of because two of its journals were worn. The engine only has sixty-thousand miles on it and the cylinders are smooth and have no wear or rigde.



Since the cynlinders are in good shape is it ok or not for me to hone them? Will I cause any harm by honing them since they're not in need of honing?

If the cross-hatching from the original hone is worn then it should be re-honed. After that, measure ring end gap or measure the piston to bore clearance if you have the tools.
