I got my rings and stuff today...I dug out my hone and found the stones damaged so I went down to get a new set of stones. I was presented with the choice of 100, 220 and 400 grit stones. I'm thinking I should use 400 grit stones to hone the piston sleeves but I thought I would ask first??

That is a flex hone. I would use the 220 grit stones. Try to run it slow with a lot of up & down to get a good cross hatch pattern.

What type of ring set you have will also have a factor on which stones you use. Do you have chrome rings? Is this a rigid or flex hone? Make sure you wash the sleeves well with good warm soapy water and then dry & oil well.

Not Chrome...steele rings.

I am sorry, I do not know the difference between ridgid and flex hone. The one that I have, you compress the 3 stones (the stones are about 3 inches long), insert in the cylinder and the stones are spring loaded back out to the cylinder...The drive shaft is ridgid and not flexable.

Tom if the cylinders are not new, it is necessary to ridge ream them (unless they measure less than 0.001" wear) The hone you are using is good for glaze breaking (which is what you are doing) The 400 stones are just fine because they are not going to remove much material, and will prep the surface for break in. Use a low speed drill (about 90-120 RPM) and move full length of the cylinder so that the pattern crosses itself at 45 degrees from vertical. When putting the hone in, or taking it out, be sure not to let the stones drag, creating longitudinal marks. Stop honing such that the pattern is maintained. do not concentrate on any one location, stroke the entire length never letting the stones get out more than 1/2" on top or bottom. That causes stone breaksge and bell mouthing on the cylinder. Use engine oil cut 50/50 with diesel as a lube while honing. (or honing oil) As noted below, cleas and dry then oil before leaving them for the day. Good luck, JimN
