I need to install some connecting rod (bronze)bushings and once installed they need to be sized to fit the piston pin. Using a Sunnen hone would be the normal (best) way to go, but I only have a few rods that need to be done and there isn’t a Sunnen hone in the shop. Trying to avoid subletting things out if possible.
Wondering about mounting the rod in the mill and using a barrel lap and Timesaver lapping compound. Obviously the proof is in the pudding, so I could try it and see how it goes. If done carefully I don’t see any reason why it couldn’t work.
Anyone tried anything similar, if so what were the results?
