302/351w how big can i stroke it

Yeah, the gas idea seemed not that great.

In the comments someone mentions not using WD40 because the stones load up and there's another comment about using water instead. Water is a terrible lubricant though. Google says honing oil, ATF, or kerosene/engine oil mix work well.

hence using a lot of it... like I said, all on expected outcome, I'm normally going for less bad or marginally reasonable...

Less bad is good!

I have honed out a bunch of wheel cylinders and usually just use whatever can of liquid is nearby. Usually WD40 cuz I have a lot of it but I've tried PB blaster, 3-in-1 oil, garage door lube... anything that is soluble in brake cleaner afterwards seemed to be fine.

I watched the vid. I didn't see where he said he was using gas. Maybe I missed it. I can remember a buddy of mine cleaning a carb over a pail of gas. He was smoking while doing it. Freaked me out a bit. But you need stoichometric (speling) fuel/air ratio and an open flame or spark for ignition.

9:45 he mentioned wiping the walls down with gas and I am assuming that's what is in the bottle on the table that gets squirted in later. I swear there was another video in that series where he specifically said "I use gas while honing" or something to that affect but I'm not going to re-watch them all to find it.

One interesting thing I found in another video (from someone else) was the recommendation to wash anything like this in soap & water afterward - cylinder walls, brake rotors, etc. I would never have thought to do that but it makes sense.
