Hello everyone, I have a 98 mazda b4000 rear wheel auto, and I'd like to deglaze my cylinders prior to re ringing but I do not know what grit ball hone to use.

Does anyone know what grit is recommended for re seating existing rings if possible, and if not, what grit for new ford replacement rings and any canadian aftermarket suppliers with same info on the rough factor (grit).

Also, can one reuse main bearings also?? Like reseat with a honey oil also????

Thanks for any info

In a real pinch you can also use 150 grit sand paper. I've done it, it's not ideal, but it does work.
