You may inform her that WD is for Water Dispersent so it is critical that the letters are in the right order & that the inventor (of it) tried 39 different chemical combinations before being comfortable with/& settling on the 40th try. I use it alot mainly cuz it is handy/thin/sprayable but alot of mechanics dont think very highly of it.

I've always just used WD-40 when doing a quick "dingleberry" deglaze/hone. Then wipe down w/ ATF.

I am using a "Flex-Hone". Has a whole bunch of little black balls on it. Instructions says to not use any solvent! Used a Mixture of Transmission fluid and WD-40(or as my wife calls it, DW-30!). Worked great. Was just a deglazing hone for new rings so a quick 20 seconds on each cylinder did the trick. Thanks for the reply's. Mike When a shop hones the bore it is only about 6 passes on the bore so I don't know if any extra will harm things.

I quit using any of the dingleberry hones 30+ years ago when I started using moly coated top rings per the feed back from all the major ring companies If your trying to do a quick cheap rebuild on the motor to flip a car and your going to use the cheapest cast iron rebuilder ring sets you can get then your using the proper honing tool needed to do that If you want to help make the motor better by straightening the bore taper up and making the cylinders round when honing it then take it to a shop that has a good honing machine or buy a professional hand held hone like Snap On or a adjustable Lisle and use it with a good honing plate and use the same head gasket your going to use on that motor

FWIW...my hemi was originally built in 2006. Since then I've re-ringed it twice (moly rings) and used a "dingleberry" hone both times. It will still give me timeslips like it did when it was fresh. Best MPH ever on motor in 2007 was 140.4 mph in good air. The last time I ran the car on motor in good air, it went 140.2 mph after the two previously mentioned freshen ups (8 years later). Not saying this type of hone is best, it certainly isn't, but it sure aint all that bad either.
