Block tubing, got some questions.

So do you run a hone down the lifter bore to make sure the tube isn't springing back after being swaged or is the material dead enough that it won't protrude? A couple of those look like they have a lip, but that could be the lighting or artifact in the pic.

They all have a pronounced lip after you peen the tube over, the second picture in my last post is what it looks like after it's all dressed off, I ended up doing exactly what YR posted below.

I only use a hone to do the last little bit of finish work.

After I peen the tube, I use an 80 grit paper roll to get the tube below flush of the lifter bore. Then use the hone just to make it purdy.

Thats exactly what I settled on after the first one, the hone gave a nice finish, but isn't designed to remove large amounts of material. Sandpaper drum on a Dremel and a hone polish. Using some dykem and a spare lifter to check rubbing.
