My son and I are rebuilding our first engine together - more as a learning experience for both of us. It's a six...but in full transparency it's a Jeep 4.0. I joined here because I have been looking at purchasing a classic Mustang and those with a six tend to be more in my budget. I thought I would learn a bit about the 200ci here before taking that leap though. Does anyone have a good used Sunnen hone (that is powered by drill) that they want to part with? Thanks.
Wanted Sunnen AN112

you might just consider renting it?
try your normal auto parts places.
I just got a fuel gauge setup from a place that rents tools ( Canadian tire) they had a cylinder hone there too so it was on my mind and I was thinkin to myself , "if I buy it will I ever need one again? " it was half price.
They seemed to be turning over their rental tool stock or maybe discontinuing it , not sure, but they do rent them..
Im probably too far away, but I'd suggest you check locally and think about just renting it if you don't see another engine rebuild coming up..
maybe its a thing you don't need to own?
I decided I'll buy one if I need it, as I may not, ever.

That item is an empty box!
That type of hone isn't really suitable for home use, its a rigid hone which is meant to be used after the cylinder has been bored, it only works with bores that are dead straight and round, no worn cylinder is going to be like that. If you want to simply break the glaze, then a brush hone is better for that. Also it IS NOT advised to hone the bores while the engine is in the car, as all the grit will not be able to be cleaned out properly and result in damage to rings and bearings. IMO if you need to refurbish the bores, do a proper job and get a machine shop to bore and hone a bare block. The Sunnen hone is nearly $1000 from what I can see! here in Australia, Repco put out a comprehensive text on engine reconditioning, in that they advise NOT to hone with the engine in the car, for the reasons Ive explained.
