Hi Tech Hone/polishing tool

Made from a bit of broom handle, turned so that the front end is a push fit into the cylinder bore, then the rear half is tapered toward the chuck.

In use the hone is coated with griding compound then the cylinder is moved back and for along the hone whilst it is turning at a slow speed.

You need to use a different hone for each grade of grinding compound, to ensure that you don't scratch the final finish.
