Get the hone wet with ATF or engine oil  before starting. Move the hone in and out while turning it to create a swirling pattern on the cylinder walls.  The ATF/oil lubricates the balls to keep them from creating deep scratches in the walls. The key to everything is to go slow and constantly check.  After honing, wipe the walls clean of residue with a clean rag and a cleaning solution.  After that, wet a rag with engine oil and wipe the walls down to prevent rust and provide initial lubrication when you start the engine.</blockquote>
