MC1 engine with slightly rusted cylinder bores...honing?

[Darrell Boehler]

Hi Mihnea,
    I  recently honed a couple of slightly rusty cylinders on a mc engine.  I think it set for a couple of years and 2 cylinder 2
holes had some rust.  It took a bit more honing on the rusty cylinders than the other 3 but they came out smooth.
