Dingleball Hones

[DoubleDingo]

I am getting ready to order some dingleball hones to clean up some cylinder bores on different engines. I see they come in various grits. What would be the recommended grit to get? 240, 320, or 400? Cast iron rings will be on the pistons. I was thinking 320, but wanted to ask here. This goes for the lifter bores as well.

Just skimming through that he said 280 rings will seat faster. I have a LS that was locked up I was going to try on

220 for cast iron or chrome rings, but finer grits for other rings.
