Those both should have ben done as part of any modern rebuild.

Posted while you were responding. Every engine I do gets both of those. Plate honing is so important that in the 90s I bought my own plates because the shop I wanted to use didn't have enough mopar work to buy them. Not sure why I need to justify or rationalize anything - you asked, I answered...lol.

I asked for justification, when perhaps a better term would have been rationale. I just want to know why people answer the way they do. It's like asking someone why they married the ugly chick. Seems obvious why they wouldn't, but maybe she is a great cook. Or, as my mother would say, she has a great personality. Lol, thanks Mom!
