Its used to scratch up cylinder walls for new piston rings, it doesn't bore anything out like a drill.

Most of the time its easier to just get a new(ish) engine rather than piss fart about honing bores. Maybe 20 years ago sure but not anymore.

That is probably 1 of the stupidest things ive read on here.
I didnt know what it was for(till a few posts later,thanks sand-eel).Id have thought it was for enlarging the hole the piston sits in.

I think everyone knows what honing is seeing as there is so much expertise in how to run an engine in on here.
