Okay, I need to replace an engine ring in my OS SX 50 after a mishap that took place due to my own ignorance. (broke the ring on assembly) I have a buddy who is ASE certified in everything and says that we should "hone" the cylinder with a honing tool and wanted to know the RMS number that we would like to achieve.
Could somebody tell me if honing is a bad idea (my buddy said that it helps seat the ring) and if so what RMS number should we be going for? He is guessing a very smooth one, almost mirror finish.
Thanks all, this community is great!
