There is a special burnishing tool you are supposed to use.

the 68 Plymouth FSM has the procedure at this link..

This oilite link says it IS okay to machine with sharp tools, just don't grind or hone, which leaves the grinding media on the I.D.

Where you gonna get the burnishing tool? Make a slightly tapered rod of the right O.D.?
