Re: Low Mileage stock bore Rod/Piston swap
Honing is very very messy. I would be most worried about the dirty, metal filled goo that is created when you hone. It's probably the last thing you would want in your motor. You need to somehow try to keep the honing residue from seeping down the cylinders onto the crank and into the crank case. You also have to try to avoid the oil squirters with the hone, unless you remove them. With a 1G or 2G, it is easy to pull the motor and you could still avoid removing the crank and oil pump assembly, but flip the motor upsidedown while you hone it. Pulling the motor on an Evo on the other hand does suck. If you wanted to try to do it with the motor in the car, I would try stuffing some rags around the crank, then cut a stock piston apart, leaving the rings, then inserting the piston back into the hole that you are going to hone upside down. Put some heavy oil around the edge of the piston and hope the rings stop most of the gunk from running down. I don't know if using a pistons in that way is feasible with the Evo though. The pistons rings might not be close enough to the crown, because it's a turbo piston or the whole thing might be too tall and end up keeping you from reaching the entire length of the cylinder wall that the rings contact.
