I have a couple of questions real quick..

1. What is the difference between horning and boring a cylinder.

2. Also, which book should I buy when wanting to rebuild this motor..the service manual or the repair manual.

honing rounds the cyl and restores the lubrication cross hatch. allowing to re-use old pistons with new rings.----uses either bead or blade hone to sand cyl surface.....done at home or machine shop

boring is cutting the cyl walls to allow for a larger piston.......usually if the cyl is worn, scuffed too far out of round, cracked, etc....------done at a machine shop......very expensive equipment.

i hope this is what you are looking for......its not a very good explanation.
