Cleaning Cylinder Before Assembly

"Although we may perceive a finished honed cylinder to be relatively smooth, from a surface science standpoint it is a very rough coarse surface (mountains and valleys) that is filled with a mixture of honing oil and extraordinarily fine metallic debris (think of the material making up the hard clay layer in the bottom of the honing tank or the bottom of an automatic transmission pan after years of use)."


That is overlooking the ABRASIVE particulate that has come from the honing STONES.
