I'm going to rering and install new bearings on the 428. The cylinder bores are all 4.161". What is the best way to break the glaze, use a ball style cylinder hone or a 3 leg Cylinder hone? What grade of abrase? ------------------

Glen,You should be alright with a ball hone. If you want to re-hone it, which grit depends on which rings you use. I have the stones if you need them. SteveW

Maybe I should'nt say it but the first engine I rebuilt a 1954 Chrysler NewYorker convertable ,with 331" HEMI wayyyyyy back in 1958-59 I used a manuel speed handle wrapped a shoptowel and wrapped it with wet/dry sandpaper and gasoline to brake the glaze off cylinder walls{yea crude I know but it workedmade the old chrome rings seat and it run good HAHA
would love to have that big old red convertable now
