What tool is used to bore cylinders?
A bore gauge is a tool used to measure the inside of a bore, or hole. Once a bore gauge is inserted into the hole that needs measuring, small parts called anvils expand outward to determine the diameter.

Do longer connecting rods make more power?
A longer rod makes more torque with the same piston force, and since it’s less angular than a shorter rod, reduces sidewall loading and decreases friction. All of this adds up to more power.
Does bigger piston mean more power?
The short answer is that a bigger bore is generally the best way to get more power. It creates more space, allowing for bigger valve openings, which in turn can bring more fuel and air into the cylinder.
Do you need new piston after honing?
More often than not, you will need to hone your cylinder when replacing the piston rings. That is because honing creates small crosshatches in the surface of the cylinder, to allow the wall of the component to retain oil and provide lubrication for the piston ring.
