I've noticed a couple of other posts recommending replacing the rings on a Honda mower. I have that same oil smoking problem and am thinking about trying the home repair. I've done some work on small engines before, but just on the carburetor side, never into the cylinder, etc. When the posts say to "hone" the cylinder could someone explain that a little more? What tool do I need for that and how do I do it? Also are there any other tips you would give a first-timer as they take apart (& re-assemble)? Or required tools I'd need (eg - torque wrench, etc)? Thanks!

The problem I am having is that both tires are all over the place. Toe in, toe out, one and both. I have replaced all parts except for steering wheel and column and the same thing is happening. There is no adjustment. What am I missing? HELP!
