(tools for) Honing ea engines


Recommended Posts

Can anybody recommend specific tools for honing the cylinders in ea71 and ea81 engines? I see tools on ebay run from $10 to $150. What do I need to do this, I've got a ea81 block to rebuild with minor corrosion in one cylinder.

Sorry, wrong place...

the wire wheel type tools for this are the ones I am looking at. ea81 cylinders are about 3.5" in diameter. Do you buy a 3.5" tool? I would think you would want it a little oversized? Also I see them in 240 and 320 grit. So what tool to get? here is a link to the style of tool I am looking at:
