slight ring wear on bore rering|||You can hone Arctic Cat cylinders but only with a flex ball hone. If you use a rigid hone your cylinder is going to be toast. I've honed hundreds of cat cylinders (kawi and suzi motors).
If you have aluminum stuck to it from a seized piston, you can remove it with muric acid (the stuff from swimming pools).
You can get a ball hone on ebay or any snowmobile dealer will have them.|||No...you have to re-sleeve it since it is crome|||ok|||yes u can and go 25 over on the rings..re hone the cylinder and if not the dolphins went un defeated...|||No, you need to get a new sleeve|||If you don't require an over hone (notice I didn't say bore), have an engine machine shop touch it up on a Sunnen honing machine. They now have stones near near 1000 grit range. A couple of very light passes should save it for you. I remember saving a 1974 air cooled 440 TX Polaris which had chrome cylinders. The pistons had Dykes rings. Two new pistons (same size as originals) and she lived for many yrs. A pilot jet was plugged and she went lean and burned a piston. Possibly you could find un-chromed cast iron sleeves as replacements if needed. In today's world you can buy .005 over pistons if you have a snowmobile motor with steel or cast iron liners. No boring needed. A Sunnen honing machine can get you within 1/10 of one thousandth and they shine up like hard chrome.|||I doubt it. If you hone a chromed cylinder, you will scrape the chrome out of it. I do not know anyone that has tried this, but that would be my opinion.
