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.

I believe he is rebuilding his old motor

For a refresh on a recently built motor hand hone it. for another season

For a rebuild on a worn motor power hone it to size and get file fit rings.

I have never see a worn engine that wasn't tapered. New rings going in and out of the lands wear them out pretty quick. Also the top ring the important one never seals right. And you never know because it will never smoke. Just lack power be hard to tune, start or get good plug readings. Every motor that leaves here has to be perfect or he won't do it.
