I Believe I'm Not Finished: Block Honing

Before going any further you need to map out all 8 cylinders using a bore guage preferrably, check for out of round at top/bottom/middle then check how much taper there is, in line with crank then 90deg. After all that you may find that the holes are out so far that a hone is a waist of time and the block needs to be machine bored.
