I know that when new rings are installed in 4-cycle engines that it is
generally recommended that the cylinder walls be honed to remove the

2-cycle engines?

I expect it is, but I just thought I'd check.

TJ, any shop manual I've seen for any type of 2 cycles used the same
honing procedure as a 4 stroke. So, after checking taper, out of
round, and out of spec bore, I'd use a ball type hone if it were me.
