[SEL] Piston Ring Gap

[Arnie Fero]

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but the spring-loaded hones you
describe are also just glaze breakers.  They will not do a thing for
out-of-round or tapered bores.  Precision cylinder hones are rigid (like
the Sunnen) and are damn expensive!!

See ya,  Arnie
