Honing cylinders with pistons in...
I don't have the head off yet, but I'm expecting that my 84 XJ6 is going to have some rust in the cylinders due to the amount o water that sprayed out during the compression check.
I'm thinking it will probably be more than steel wool and naval jelly will fix. Is safe to use a drill mounted hone while the pistons are still in the cylinder, to clean up the sections that have rust?
