If you want to get it HOONED, come see me!
But if your getting it honed its basically putting a 'cross hatch' in the bore (which means scratching it up with a given grit stone @ 45 degrees to remove scores and shine), this helps your new piston rings bed into the bore giving you a good seal.
Getting it 'Bored' means your going to the next size up in the piston range, which usually is .020'' oversize. This also means you need new pistons.
If your going for the whole kit with pistons i can give you a niiice price. They come in .020'' oversize and .040 oversize, you can get all kinds of pistons also.
email me if you like for anything you may need.

flav, don't suppose you stock anything for thr 4G37s do you? My Galant at 400,000kms on the original engine is finally showing signs of wear.

What about for the 4G62? I heard a rumour that 4G62 pistons can fit 4G37s as well. They have the same bore size, and they share the same rings (identical part numbers even).

I can get ACL stuff from work (Super Cheap Auto), but I have no idea how good they are. 4G6x stuff is alot cheaper than the older Saturn 4G3x series.

Sup JC? Yeah I've been lurking here for a while (linked from CordiaPower forums), but I've only just recently signed up to post.
