[QUOTE="DEA, post: 429241, member: 24092"] Ponder this theory (as passed on to me) :think:The cross hatch is for oil retention and to seat/break in the new ring/s. Oil retention especially more so on 4 str. since they don't rely on the oil-gas mix that comes through the carb on a 2 smoke. I have also put a few(very few) top ends together without honing "not a good practice" I've also seen several instances where the rings didn't seat in(mainly on 4 strokes that became 4 smokes) due to no or improper honing Also if you measure a new cylinder it is round from top to bottom and measure a new or old piston" it is tapered" Smaller at the top If you do use the dishwasher to wash parts in do it on special days-Mothers day,Valentines day etc.you might as well go out with a bang :) Using the sink with Tide laundry detergent usuall dosen't hurt as bad There's been some good info. & ideas in this thread. :thumb: Thank DEA [/QUOTE]
