Peaklander Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Honing puts the swirls back on the polished bores and these then retain lubrication. I had mine honed in-situ and the job was done in about 45 mins by a mobile service. It cost £60-80 can't remember exactly. I had lots of advice from people on here as I had no idea what was needed! Edit: this is my 300TDi so the bores face upwards. I guess yours is a little more challenging. 😀 Edited March 26, 2021 by Peaklander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 25D would make it a 3.5 EFI auto 9.35, 1986 onward. Does that sound correct? Filip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
