UF-350 <BR />Ultrafinish Soft Hone 4in Dia. | Item #UF-350. | Goodson Tools & Supplies for Engine Builders

 

is there a harbor freight tool store in ny? there is in PA and they have them

 

Nice there is one close to where I building the motor practically on the way. Worse comes to worse it wont be perfect.

 

the only one they have is like this on the website do they have one like I originally posted?

4" Engine Cylinder Hone

 

bump maybe someone else has some info.

 

do u need that certain kind? i know i bought that one in the first post there before but maybe they stopped selling it

 

well with that one you get the crossstitch pattern. These i feel would take too much material of the cylinder and dump it on my crank I rebuilding the motor in the car. Maybe they will have the first one ill stop by anyway.

 

ahh ok i see now..didnt know u were gonna do it in the car. Ya i would agree, u def dont want any metal shavings on ur crank lol. But ya they had like 3 different kinds one time, i havent been there in 7-8 months so they may have stopped selling it

 

well just have to hope they have it build proceeds either way worse comes to worse if i decide i need that specific hone ill leave the car apart and order it.

 

just either way when u break in the motor put a small strong magnet in the oil pan and it will grab any shavings really quick...my uncle is an engine builder and he does this when he does motors.

 

haha I actually looked at my neodymium magnets as I was thinking of that I could do to catch shavings. Great minds come up with awesome techniques.

 

he just dynoed a big block chevy 540 he built yesterday...1782hp 1924tq

 

woah those are some huge numbers. My friend is having his ls3 in his camaro built. has a cage fuel cell basically a 8-9 sec car. They are looking for 1400 hp but should have room to grow.

 

i launched my dad's friends camaro that ran an 8.21 in the 1/4...i launched it off the trans brake at 4k rpm and blacked out for like 5 seconds i got used to it thpugh after a few tries

 

always lucky to know people who have more resources then you do allows you to do new things. I know ill have a hard time convincing my friend to let me do a pass but needless to say I will try my best haha.

 

if your using total seal rings you need a ball hone of 240 grit anything ruffer and the rings will have a hard time seating

 

no offense but if you have never launched a car with that much horsepower i wouldn't blame your friend for not letting you, thats alot of money to quite easily be gone in seconds. not saying you would crash it but 1400hp and 300hp is a huge difference on how the beast launches and reacts.
