Sure you can. I just use gloves to keep the sharp edges from cutting me. It is a little difficult getting them over a prior groove, so put the oil ring on from the bottom, then the middle and top from the top. Don't open the rings any wider than necessary to clear the piston without scratching it too much. I haven't broken one yet after four tractor restorations and several car restorations. Yes, on the cross hatch. That is the right way. Get a hone from your favorite tool store (Sears, Harbour Freight, etc) and mount it into a drill. Move the drill up and down so that the stones take about one half second to go the distance from top to bottom. That will put the cross hatch into the sleeve. All this assumes that the sleeves are in good shape: exactly round and with zero or very small ridge near the top.
