Installing a new Wiseco top end kit. I understand that no honing is needed? Cylinder looks good. I have searched, but found little. Thanks in advance. JB

Correct. Do NOT let anyone hone your plated cylinder. If the bike has been previously retrofitted with a steel cylinder that's different. Stock is plated and should NOT be honed. You can clean it up by hand with a Scotch Bright pad if needed.

Do you know the difference between plated and sleeved?

I just did a top end on my 220. No honing done just a scotch bright pad and some ovencleaner to get the backed carbon off. Also I would get a pack of three and the heaviest scotch pads you can find. It will make the job go quicker.

OK, green Scotch Brite pad and a little oil to get any hazy areas. Clean and rinse thoroughly afterwards.
Good luck with it.
