150 Grit Cylinder Hone Kit (Dingleberry Hone)
VS
3 Blade Cylinder Hone Kit (2"-7" with 80, 220, and 320 Grit Stones)
Hello, I hope I can get some assistance with my issue, My father wrecked his 94 Ranger 2.3 L, 2x4, automatic.
I need to get him into another set of wheels immediately (their only means of transportation for both my parents to doctors, grocery and so forth dad is 73, and mom is 69 so it is a must they have wheels) , my only quick option is to put him into my 04 Ranger Edge, The only issue is the engine in the Edge has a major problem> you can visually inspect the Crank and Journals without even removing or disassembling the engine due to a hole in the side of the block.
So I am looking at putting the engine out of the wrecked 94 (2.3L) complete engine package everything (ecm, wiring harness, everything 100% all of it) needed to complete the conversion, and a transmission out of my 99 Ranger, it is a 5 speed standard. If I am going to do this build for my father I might as well complete the build the way my father wants his truck built.
So his truck will be completed with: engine, ecm, wiring harness EVERYTHING NEEDED to swap the engine & transmission packages from the 94 & 99 to complete a standard swap into the 2004 Edge with the UN-obtainable engine for this truck.
The previous owner of the 04 Edge couldn't find an engine after searching for 3 yrs after he blowed up the engine, I have spent an additional 2 yrs looking for an engine and I haven't been successful either so the out with the 3.0, and in with the 2.3 L plus the standard 5 speed since the 2.3 liter will not bolt up to the factory transmission in the 04 Edge!
The 2.3L in the 94 has 150,000 miles on it, it only came with 98 hp stock originally when it left the show room, with 150,000 miles on it now I highly doubt it even has 75 HP now at this point. So I wish to go through the engine for a quick gasket & reseal job prior to installing it in the 04 Edge.
So now the story comes back around finally ( I am sorry if this ended up so long, but I didn't want to leave a bunch of information out):
SO::
3 blade hone with 3 variable grit hone stones? or a 4 inch hone with 150 grit fixed size to complete my job?
Thanks in advance for any and all help and assistance I can get from everyone!
