Pictures of De-glazing my 3.2 Carrera Cylinders

I know that you can't hone 3.2L Carrera cylinders because they are the plated type so I read up on other forums on how to clean them up without damaging. I used some red 3M scotch bright pad and cut them to fit my Sears honing tool then lightly lubed my cylinders and in the honing tool went. I used a low rpm and full-in and full-out passes into my cylinder. I set the tension on my hone to be light for only cleaning purposes. You can still see the factory honing marks, this process only removed all the old oil film that build up. They came out rather nice and shinny.
