Well obviously all the situation you mentioned are all good ! 3 of the motors are still running in the 9 second zone 1/4 ! The other is pretty slow at 10.90 1/4 ! All hold good oil pressure. All have been running 3 years now ! All are also street driven ! I feel pretty sure you can think of a lot more reason why you have to have your motors honed or lined bored !! And if that’s what you want to do that’s great ! Do it ! Stop mean mugging my post or someone else’s post that don’t agree with your theory of wasting your money !! You could be taking a motor right now to the machine shop getting it honed or bored ! I don’t care and could care less what you do !! The difference in the way you build a motor and I build a motor ! See I measure everything before I build ! So I know all the answers to the questions before I build ! I guess you don’t ! So with that said put the crankshaft in the motor and spin it with it torqued into place ! If the crankshaft spins freely you are good to go ! All these ifs ifs ifs ifs ifs that you talk about could happen ! If you don’t tighten the oil pan bolts it will leak oil to .. if you don’t put any oil in the engine and run down the interstate the engine is going to lockup !! If you don’t put fuel in the gas tank you might run out of gas !! IF YOU WANT TO LINE HONE OR LINE BORE YOUR ENGINES IN YOUR CARS, TRUCKS, LAWN MOWER go get it done !! Do it !! The fact still remains tho if your motor doesn’t need to be lined honed or lined bored it doesn’t need to be !! You make it sound like after every pass at the drag strip you have to pull a motor and have lined honed or lined bored !! Which is fine with me !! Get it done ! Has I said in my original post! If you have any tightness in the turning of your crankshaft. Yes then that would be the time to fined out what’s going on !! If you don’t agree with that !! I don’t care !! Facts are facts !! I’ve said all I’m going to say in this ! Have a good day Sir !!
