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 glaze, so the the new rings will seat properly. Is the same true of 2-cycle engines? I expect it is, but I just thought I'd check. Most cars are plain cast iron: most outboards are plain aluminum. Casady Most aluminum cylinders have a sleeve of another, harder material. A "plain aluminum" cylinder wouldn't live very long. I think the only "aluminum" cylinder was the Chevy Vega. |
