Bought a gas engine (four cylinder, cast iron block, approx. 123 cubic inches, 3.5 inch bore) which was said to be overhauled. The cylinder bores (sleeveless) were honed. It appears that the honing operation was done with little or no vertical movement of the hone. The honing pattern on the cylinder wall is "parallel" to the piston rings and the typical "cross hatch" is just not there. My machine shop is afraid it will hurt the lubrication of the piston/piston rings/cylinder wall. What do you experts think? (I can return the engine to the seller and get my money back if the engine turns out unsatisfactory.) Thanks, Hendrik
