Dingleberry or stone block

That's not a engine hone, This is a engine hone. And there is the torque plates for the boxer he is making above. If your building old briggs or a engine you really don't care if it performs then use whatever is in your hand. To do it right take it and have it honed to true size. You can control the bore size and make every cylinder the same with no taper. Note two stones and two scrapers to keep it square. Once you ruin your block you'll be boring it.

Using a drill makes em look good but hows it measure top to bottom. I did what your about to do several times years back with some pretty good and bad results and I thought I was an expert. My son showed me the difference. I realized how wrong I was. Even file fitting the rings there is a new method. My son builds a lot of race motors when . I went down to take pictures of the hone I told him why. He looked at me and laughed

He asked me if your a local member near by? I asked Why? He said give it a while someone will be boring it.

What’s your point??? All of the hones shown have a place if you know what you are doing.

Not every block needs get the plates put on and put up in the hone.

Don’t make it more complicated than it is.

FWIW, Im updating my top rings and I will be dingleberry honing it.

I’m sure I’ll be down 75 horsepower.
