ghetto rebuild

i'm re-ringing my engine, and i came up with a question and some advice. first the advice, for anyone with an oil consumption problem, try the transmission fluid trick first, before you tear your engine apart to replace the rings. i was burning about a quart every 2 hours on the highway, and i figured they were completely shot. not so. the oil control rings were indeed gooed into the lands. i didn't try the atf trick first. i can't hurt to try. even with my 20% student discount on parts at honda, the rings were 96 dollars, plus the gaskets and other fun parts i need to put it back together. check crx.honda-perf.org for directions on the atf thing. now for my question. what sort of honing oil has anyone used to deglaze the cylinders? i can't seem to find anyone that can tell me what they've used and what works. i can't get it running again untill i get my head back anyways (long story), so it may be a while before i know if everything is working right. it's interestin to do major surgery like this in my friends one car garage with the tools and funds that automotive school kids can come up with. i'd appreciate any help from anyone who's done this before. thanks.
