Eric says to use a size 10% less of the cylinder bore and 240 grit. I belive, anyone wanna back me up.

I believe that he says that the 10% reduction is only needed with kawi's electrofusion plating because it is fairly weak. But other than that, a 240 grit aluminum oxide ball hone (flexhone is a brand name) would be a good choice.

A search on honing cyl's would give you all the rest of the answers you need.
