If I can ask - where did you buy that tool?
I'll be working on my engine probably next winter so I want to prepare myself ;)

That may take too much metal off. I am at work so when i get home i will look at ebay to get a pic of what you need

ok, I await your answer, I am curious, other times I have done it with this tool, it has a nut that tightens the spring to regulate the pressure it exerts on the barrel, it can be very soft at low revs

Look at ebay item 184430930041 you would need a 60mm one. The tool you have will actually remove metal and make the clearance bigger the one i link to will just remove the glaze on the bore allowing new rings to seal better.
Honda rings are best but dearest as well.
I have some of those flap wheels here but not sure of postage cost to you
murdock:
ok, it is a good excuse to replace the ones I have that are already kaput, what grain do you advise me? 120? I imagine that a very fine pass with oil
