Precision Cylinder Honing

Cylinder honing is the process of refining the surface of the cylinder walls after boring. It creates a precise cross-hatch pattern that helps piston rings seal properly, ensuring good compression, oil control, and long engine life.

Even if they look okay, microscopic wear or glazing can affect ring sealing. Honing restores the correct surface texture for proper lubrication and performance — especially after boring or rebuilding.

We use specialised power honing machines and precision tooling to achieve exact dimensions and a consistent cross-hatch finish. This ensures each cylinder meets factory or performance specifications.

Yes — if the cylinders are within tolerance and only need surface refreshing. Honing can remove minor imperfections and restore optimal surface finish without removing significant material.

Professional honing provides precise control over size, roundness, and finish — something handheld tools can’t achieve. Our process ensures correct piston ring seal and consistent engine performance.

It depends on the engine and condition, but typically between a few hours to a day. We’ll assess and give you a clear timeframe when you bring your engine in.
