Should i re-honed these cylinders?

[Jramos13]

Hi guys, im doing a xs500 i got this awesome deal of a lot of great parts nos pistons with rings and cylinder jugs, new engine gasket and valve seals, coils, you name it just a lot of good stuff, anyway the cylinder where stored and never installed for about 3 years after a bore and hone job, so a bit of corrossion got in the jugs, is it ok to honed them a bit with a flex hone? Just to get like a fresh hone and take away the corrossion? They are already match to the new pistons, they just were never install and put in storage

yes,absolutelty, take it to a proffesional machinist with a sunnen hone, it wont cost much

And get the machine shop to measure the bores and match to the new pistons if they can.

they actually were match to the pistons and honed but were never installed and put away in storage for about 3 years, thats where the rust seted in i guess,

But just a small hone job would not take lots of material away?
Do they need to march the piston again for just a hone?

take the pistons to the machinist as well , hopefully they will clean up fine with minimal material removal ...if close to .001 or more is removed you can have the piston skirts thrust faces glass bead blasted it will bring up the size a bit.. a little extra ring gap will not cause any issues

if all the pistons are the same matching is not such a great issue but sometimes pistons even new vary in size ..so this is why you take it all to the machinist so he can sort it out.if he asks you why you brought in the pistons as well as the cylinder then gather up the parts and go to another machinist
