My sons 70cc dirt bike needs reboring. I plan to do this in my lathe using a faceplate which the cylinder will be bolted to. I've never done this, I always just farmed my cylinders out over the years. I decided that me and my son could do this together so he can see a practical application to what I do in my shop.
Boring seems fairly straight forward , I understand to leave a few thousands to hone out.
I do not have a true engine cylinder hone, I have a brake hone that I use on shotgun barrels and suppressor tubes. It's not expensive.
I see engine cylinder hones in the 1.5" to 2" range costing from $25 to well over $100. Is there any practical difference in them ? He's not racing, this is just a bike he rides on the family property.
