I’m interested in purchasing a engine honing tool for my Kohler 161 engine. Which one do you guys recommend and grit size? Thanks

Justin - I got mine at NAPA several years ago. It's a medium grit (240). Works for me.

Thank you!
Justin has a excellent choice from Napa
Ball hone's will hit all the low spots as in the dark spot about a 1/4" below top of cylinder in picture above. When I was a wrench, we only used ridged hone for finish after cylinders were bored out for the final .001 or .002. Granted it is a lawn mower engine, but the spot that was missed would be the highest cylinder pressure area.
