Scored cylinder cleaning

So many different ways, just find whats works best for your
needs.
I use flapper wheel and then emery clothe by hand. I wont use
acid. I then use a ball hone to add fresh crosshatch. Not really
needed but I feel it makes a difference in my rebuilds.
My 3 step process in pic.

Kevin what grit flap wheel do you use is that a compressed air
handpiece I have a dremel tool with variable speed have
considered using that I enjoy the video here the op uses a
foredom variable speed unit and nails that are slotted to take
the emery paper

Mine is a generic foredom with foot pedal. I use 80 and 120
depending on how much transfer.

I have used the acid method with scotch bright many times.
Then on the final clean up I will use a ball hone.
I think the ball hone will remove aluminum transfer much faster
then it will chrome used in chainsaws due to the aluminum being
softer.

Just be careful if you use a flap wheel .I ground right through
the plating once on an 034 Stihl .They make flap wheels using
Scotch-Brite which would probably be a better choice .

Guy south of me tried those do to the cheaper cost. He said they
worked good on a 380 cylinder he just did.
