    Not getting cross hatching when cylinder honing

    Hi guys, I just tried to hone my cylinders but I wasn't getting 45 degree cross hatching so I stopped. It looks flatter, closer to 120 degrees. Why is that? Am I not moving the hone in and out fast enough? Or is the drill spinning too fast? Before...

    What is an alternator carbon brush?

    Hi all, I removed the alternator cover to polish it and "brush B" seems to have snapped off. What does it do? It seems like a switch or a button but I'm not sure. Is it sufficient to super glue it back on or do I need to replace it? Thanks.
