I used spirit of salts ( drain cleaner) it dissolves the alloy leavings the steel on the liner

dabbed it on with a cotton bud and watched the alloy bubble then washed it off took about half an hour to clean up a cylinder

If your trying to remove ali from bores brick acid is very good i have used it a couple of times

[Deleted]

wouldn't put brick acid anywhere near bores, HCl and steel don't like each other

[dave1963]

A good tunning person told me that what he dose and i have had no problems so far

Your fine as long a it is inhibited Acid then coat will oil straight away

these guys do them --> www.pacehigh.co.uk/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIt5W_vpez5QIVUEHTCh2uAwgyEAAYASAAEgIK5fD_BwE

not cheap mind, I've used ball honers for years, but recently got some new honers which work really well - whereabouts are you, if your close by, just pop round and I'll hone them for you

Using brick acid is fine to dissolve the ali, just be sure as stated to wash it off quickly and then coat the bores in oil

Hi,
I use the carborundum ball type, but this one looks like the old Delapena type with the stones.
As you said, I didn't find too many UK sales for the carborundum ball type.
The one I'm posting the link to looks a bit Chinese to me, so no idea of the quality ?
Steven.

Seriously? Order/wait for the US made Ball hone. Care is selecting correct size though,
It Works 'exactly' as claimed ie; perfectly.
Only caveat being: follow instructions and Only use it for the specified number of seconds. More is not better.
Bit of an annoyance that few seconds of actual use.. after having to wait interminably for delivery though.
