    Lots of good information about honing here, and at this point it may be too late, but a classic check for bore and ring wear is to put some motor oil into the spark plug hole, make sure it’s distributed all around the cylinder, open the throttle all the way, and then run another compression check.

    Art Sesselberg’s Oddjob Motors site says that the compression should be 70 to 100 psi.
