Nah we do it to the meters here at hork, they work with the same type of cylinder and piston design as an engine, but those need to move fluid and meter them accurately, so i know it works |

That's the only way I've ever seen it done. Which was only once when my dad did it to the 396 that was in my Chevelle.
Bird, what are the down sides if it's dry?

IIRC deeper scoring of the piston wall, inconsistent hone lines, stuff of that nature. |

You watched the video, how did the crosshatch look? Do you think we'll have an issue with it? |

Looked like a good 30* angle, i dont think there will be any problems, basically you want to see long diamond shapes, <> , similar to that |

Whew, Bird had me nervous! That's the first time I've ever honed a block. Every engine I've ever built had beened honed by the machine shop. The only time I saw a hone done was when my dad cleaned up the cylinder in my 396 back in 1987.

you can get a better hone using cutting fluid and what not, but on a SBF you'll be fine

A big part of this project is about the learning, so it's all good. Now, if we ruined the block I might have felt a little differently.
