Looking for a thread that had a youtube video of different honing tools & which one worked better, like a ball hone versus a 3 finger hone.

So I betting 90-95 percent of people building engines are street engines, test n tuners, street strip, or bracket cars. I could spend a ton of money to run 5.95 or budget build an engine to run 6.0 every weekend and have money in my pocket to race every week and buy a burger at the track. That’s the choice I make because I watch builds every week built with the best of parts that never hit the track before they are up for sale. Again the choice is yours. These aren’t heads up engines as they probably fall in the 3% group or less.

John,
you will enjoy this. When me and my buddy were about 14 our Dads agreed to us buying a junker car and building it with the provision we did not drive it before we got our driver license. We crashed it long before we were 16 hah! Anyway we trailered home a old cougar. During our rebuild process we knew we had to clean the cylinders. Two enterprising 15 year olds once again pooled our money and rented a dingleberry hone from auto parts store. We knew the cylinders had to be same diameter but we had no way to measure. Yet another story, but Dads precision tools were off limits at the time! So we chucked it up in the 1/2 Milwaukee drill and proceeded to drive the drill up and down in the cylinder. Our method was to alternate running the drill as neither of us weighed ninety pounds so we were pooped out after one cylinder! and then we timed each other and so in our minds we made the cylinders the same diameter by running the hone the same amount of time in each cylinder. Hah! Foot note she did run when we were done!
