They are usually given in the Engine manual. What engine type is it?

You are right of course, when you say that the ovality can never be removed completely. But then every repair or reconditioning method is always a trade-off. I used to work for a big engine builder, and even they do not all agree on what is the best method for reconditioning.
Having said that, I will have a closer look into the wave cutting machine you mentioned.
Thanks and best regards!

It is possible to remove ovality up to a certain degree and diameter, but the ovality still remains. You might should consider a wave cutting machine as this machine will restore the normal rough surface to a certain extend and this is mobile machine as well. Any how for big 2-stroke engine it is not advisable to carry out honing at all.
Hope to have shared some of my opinion and view about this matter and remain with best regards.

Keep up the good blogging work. It’s important that information comes across from individuals, and not always through trade journals.
