How to Clean Cylinders From Rust
- 1). Place the honing tool in your drill, and place oil on the tool.
- 2). Insert the honing tool in the cylinder, and start the drill.
- 3). Move the honing tool up and down in the cylinder, making sure to remove all the rust. You must repeatedly put engine oil on the honing tool so that the tool doesn't wear prematurely. You can use any standard engine oil weight such as 5-W-30.
- 4). Clean the cylinder thoroughly with a rag, and remove any dirt and shavings. Place a coating of engine oil on the cylinder wall to ensure it doesn't rust while you are rebuilding the engine.
