What grit hone for cross hatching?

[Roseand]

Just need to lightly hone my cylinder for fresh rings. Wondering what grit stones everybody uses..

 

[DAG]

150 grit

That seems awfully coarse for just a light cross hatching?

Supertune (Chuck from Xscream) says 320.

its what dasa recommends. I did mine in 400grit and they got f'd up. #LearnedTheHardWay

Twostrokes need a coarser grit than fourstrokes. Typically around 220 for iron cylinders.

I did 320 and I heard that from someone else too.. Cylinder was perfect and still had some of the old crosshatch left so I just did 320. Too late now.

If 320 is what Chucky recommends, I sure wouldn't worry.

This is the cross hatching on the other cylinder

And thsts mine. It's a little decieving because the old cross hatching can still be seen.

Yup, 320, I have bored cylinders for 30 years.
