SeCTIoN 10: CYlINder & CrANkCASe Cover
Clamp honing fixture and crankcase securely in a vise at a
convenient work height.
Place hone in middle of cylinder bore. Tighten adjusting
knob with finger until stones fit snugly against cylinder wall.
DO NOT FORCE. Cut a wood block and place inside crankcase
to prevent hone from extending further than 3/4" to 1" (19
mm to 25 mm) below cylinder bore. Place hone drive shaft in
chuck of portable drill and tighten. Be sure that cylinder and
hone are centered and aligned with the drill spindle.
NOTE: The first step in plateau honing requires a 220
grit diamond metalbond superabrasive stone (such as
a Sunnen GMG55). Drill speed should be 240 RPM at
80 strokes per minute. Lubricate cylinder liberally to
prevent build up on the honing stones. The second step
requires a 800 grit diamond metalbond superabrasive
stone (such as a Sunnen RMG807) at 110 RPM drill speed
at 80 strokes per minute.
NOTE: Sunnen lubricating oil (SCC605) is recommended.
Automatic transmission fluid is also an acceptable
honing oil. Another acceptable honing oil can be made
by mixing 4 parts 30 weight oil with 1 part kerosene.

CLEANING:
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE ENTIRE CYLINDER
AND CRANKCASE BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED AFTER
HONING.
First wash the cylinder and crankcase carefully in a commercial
solvent or kerosene. Then thoroughly wash cylinder and crankcase
using a stiff brush with soap and hot water. Rinse thoroughly with
hot running water. Repeat washing and rinsing until all traces of
honing grit are gone.
Honing grit is highly abrasive and will cause rapid wear to
all of the internal components of the engine unless it is com-
pletely removed.
Figure 10-5. Honing Cylinders
NOTE: When cylinder and crankcase have been thor-
oughly cleaned, use a clean white rag or napkin and wipe
the cylinder bore. If honing grit is present it will appear
as a gray residue on rag. If any honing grit is evident, re-
wash and rinse entire cylinder and crankcase and check
again. When there is no trace of honing grit on the rag,
the cylinder is properly cleaned. Then oil cylinder bore
to prevent rusting.

CHECK MAGNETO (FLYWHEEL END) BEARING:
Check magneto bearing for damage. Damaged bearings
cannot be replaced. If not damaged, check for wear using a
telescoping gauge and caliper (see Figure 10-6). Measure at
several locations. If the measured diameter is larger than 38.25
mm (1.506”), the crankcase must be replaced.
The diameter of the crankshaft may also make it necessary
to replace the crankcase. See Section 14 for the crankshaft
measurement details.
