Ive had the engine sitting around for a year and a half, and there is rust in the cylinders, whats the proper way of fixing that problem, can i just clean it up with something, or do i have to take it and have it honed and clean up and stuff. Thanks for your input, Paul

 

I'd say hone it out...

 

thats what i though, i was hoping there was a cheaper way to do it. But oh well, this is a never ending project. Paul

 

Honing shouldnt be expensive. Just to Advanced Auto, buy a Hone and connect it to your power drill.

 

wd-40 and steel fine steel wool

 

Try engine oil and a rough cloth. It really depends on how much exposure it got.

 

Wow, I don't know about that one.

 

Its how the Haynes manual does it! You just have to get the cross hatches on the cyl walls at 50*to 60* angles.

 

I have trouble driving a screw in straight let alone an hone into a cylinder, lol. I just don't trust myself with something that important...

 

Light rust can be removed with Marvel Mystery oil, coat the walls, let sit for a day, wipe clean. Heavy rust usually means, pull it down and hone.
