Nice to know some of the magic that is happening when I send my block to machine shop. Also, makes is clear why a simple honing in my garage is not really enough in most cases. Thanks for the clear, concise and easy spoken video and kudos to the camera guy too!
Your are a great teacher. I’ve been a machinist for 27 years. I program and setup cnc lathes but I’ve been kicking around starting a machine shop for machining engine blocks. This was very very informative!
Good video @Mr. French. I have been using Sunnen honing equipment for over twenty years, even have a Sunnen CV616 in my own garage. It was interesting to see the Rottler in action as I deal with about a dozen engine shops and they all have the Sunnen machines. I have never seen another brand power stroke hone in person, or watched such descriptive video about one. So thank you for learning me something🍻
If ya'll had a Sunnen CK10 you'd sell that Rottler.........I think you're a great instructor. I wish more young men getting out of high school would get into more technical fields.
Thanks for this interresting vidéo. Choie of stones , roughness Ra , angle between ‘scratches’ , end’s gap. As you say, final cleaning is very important and must be done.
I used to use a Sunnen machine.. I too didn’t see much distortion from the main caps, but a torque plate and head gasket made a big difference. I’ve seen lots of videos lately where they use WD40 and a three finger auto parts store hone! Makes these machines obsolete! LolJust kidding. Thanks for the good video.
There is allot of internet questions regarding the final bore surface finish. I have rebuilt a number of engines and some manuals specify the exact hone to use. The finish for cast iron rings is specified in Micro-inches at around 25-30 with a cross hatch of 30 degrees. Some specify a 180 grit ball hone and some recommend a 220 grit hone which should obtain around the 20-35 micro inch finish. You mentioned a hone near 400 grit which seams too fine for cast rings. Can you respond to this?
Independent scientist I had developed a new form of Palmer that I am going to apply to the piston rings and cylinder walls it will enter the composite deleting the friction issue but yet given it great compression I like your video in technology this is something new ub1 I figured would appreciate it
Mr French ,I enjoying your video, because I Am retired Railroad Shop Manager ,And had very good Machines , now I Am doing Aircraft Engine and I am looking for Aircraft Engine Cylinders Honing ,which I need , where are you located it please let me know
I had 20 years in the reco game and the dingle berry hone is ok for a rering job as it wont remove any material and increase your piston clearance. Of course you would not use one if you have rebored an engine as it will not remove the material the needs removing after boring.

It’s now the second video I watched. I’m getting soon trained as an engine machinist and these videos are great and helpful towards my training 👍
You are amazing. The information just flows. Thank you.
What a sincere teacher. Dedicated to his professio. Kudos.

Look this compare: ua-cam.com/video/Y2iMZjn5M-E/v-deo.html
Phenomenal video series. THANK YOU SIR!! What a great benefit to your students you are.
with the Chrysler blocks they want you to torque the motor mounts on to them because that distorts the cylinders on either side
Very good instructor that would be the school too go well done

Great video i had no idea how these things worked great job Sir.

Damn, using spindle load to monitor size is pretty smart !
Yep. In the old days you needed to pay a skilled machinist to do that.
you can easy see the teacher who has never drilled a cylinder except at school . but it starts here, the experience comes in real life😄😄
Sunnen bore gauges are the best even on Rottler hone!

Can you give me more information?
Vic you are the best5!

Whats the story with different size pistons?
Has anyone ever used one of the tables that the kwik way boring bar is sitting on. I think it let's you bore off the mains.
Awesome
That does a way better job than the AutoZone loaner honer.
Want to help in my SG motor
Explain to me why you would not use a moly top ring in this
Ok master, hang on for just a second.
Yes torque plate!!!
Great
Dudes on UA-cam think their $89 dingle ball hone is doing the same at this $65K machine.
