Use a variable speed drill with a slow speed. You need to match your rotation speed with the "in and out motion" of the hone to get the proper crosshatching pattern. Use some light oil for honing and then use either Auto Tranny Fluid or Marvel Mystery Oil (are they the same thing?) to clean out the cylinders. You will be amazed how much junk is left in the crosshatching when you wipe out the cylinder with a rag.
