Oh NO!! not another small block build

Having snuck up on round, straight bores, it is interesting to see the wear pattern on a good cylinder. I know what ball hones do and don't do. It is amazing the difference when you have little to no leak down, but with good cylinders with little wear it will run fine and not burn much oil with a ball hone.
I personally don't consider a cylinder with a ridge that you feel with a fingernail as 'low wear'.
