i understand that life situation poses some challenges, but not sure your engine will understand.... your DIY hone might or might not work, we dont even know what grit you used, if it was emery cloth or plain sand paper and even if i knew, i could never tell if it'll work
in my 45 year of wrenching, I never did it by hand, neither heard about anyone doing it. draw your own conclusions
your motor, your choice.
By the way, if you use google translate on xtrock's link, you will even see the are noting all the paramters to reach good honing,
regretfully, that link goes up only to 60mm bore, youll need bigger than that of course
this ones are also cheap and adapt to any bore

well, indeed agree about the risks of not achieving needed finish.
but still had decided that this attempt at least would be better than leaving cylinder wall like it was - with the signs of glazing...
"tool" was plain sandpaper (320) along with the engine oil.
and i do realize that in the scenarios like this at some (increased) extent will have to rely on the crossed fingers..

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
