Hone cyl on Johnson 35hp
If I replace the piston rings, should I hone the cylinders?
No damage to cylinders nor pistons as far as I can see. The cylinder walls are diagonally scratched otherwise almost as clear as a mirror. Previous hone job maybe? 1984 Johnson 35hp, original OMC pistons, new Sierra piston rings. -- Johan |

Yes, Honing removes the glaze, allowing the new rings to bed in better/quicker than if not honed. |
