Hi Buy a hone that goes on the drill. Check the top of the bore as there maybe a lip and if you put new rings on these could hit the lip. I borrowed a lip remover from a nice engine reconditioner back when I did mine. The lip is caused by wear in the bore |
If its not broke it will be soon |

Buy some "file to fit" rings to get a better gap if you are just re-ringing.
The location of the rings in relation to each other, the leading edge and gap are all important factors.
Get the block ridge-reamed like kieth said to get rid of lip, or you |
Old holdens brought on the spot, quick decision, cash paid. |

use kerosine for honing, run the hone up and down as it rotates so that you see a cross hatch pattern in the bore. stop the drill before removing the hone if it is one of the hones with a grinder stone in it, if the drill is still rotating you risk breaki
