Crank end play, destroyed converter, 408 nightmare
Probably wasn’t clear, not the cylinder hone. Studs can distort the main bearing bore alignment. Which if way off can be bored straight or it can be honed if slightly off. LA blocks seemed to be more susceptible to it than say a big block. My biggest worry is the surface finish. Cometic recommends a RA 50 for the block and head surface. I just searched and not that clear, but that may equate to 220 grit? Someone who knows better might chime in, but no issues for me, here’s my deck surface.
