Oh NO!! not another small block build

my self, I wouldn`t depend on using a ball hone to remove ridges, it will not do the cyls. the same honing that much.
Low h.p. street grocery getter , no performance at all, el cheapo , maybe if the ridges ain`t that bad. I still wouldn`t ! Bearings are into the copper , worn out -----------

I don't use a ball hone to remove the ridges... I use one to give a fresh surface finish to the bore, removing the ridge is a side effect....
