Cylinder Honing - Ford 289 302 Stroker Rebuild part 3

This is Part 3 of my Ford 289 302 stroker rebuild. In this video I hone the cylinders to the proper clearance using a Lisle 15000 rigid hone, followed up with a Flex-Hone for the crosshatching.

My 1971 302 block was bored out 4.060” years ago so that’s what I have to work with, short of replacing the block. I was hoping to use just a ball hone to restore the crosshatching, but the new pistons fit with less than 0.001” clearance. A rigid micrometer hone was then used to remove between 0.001” and 0.0015” from each cylinder yielding the required 0.002” piston to cylinder clearance. When finished, cylinder bore taper ranged from 0.0001” to 0.0006”.
