Picture one: from a used set said to have less than 10k miles after rebuild.
Picture 2: from my original broken engine, with less marked/dense cross hatch pattern.
Questions:
1. Is the first one over-honed?
2. Do I need to Scotchbrite both or just the second one?
I've test-treat a crap cylinder with degreaser, 3M pad/hot soap water as suggested in the excellent thread
Do I need to hone this? but cannot see much difference after the Scotchbriting? The 3M pad I used is Maroon in color and is the only one I can find locally that looks similar to the red 7447 recommended. It feels pretty coarse when dry but soft after soaked in hot soap water. What should I expect to see after scotchbriting the cylinder? Thanks a lot!
