In the hone with torque plate installed
Here's a picture of the diamond hone stones.These last much longer than the old vitrified stones-they also make a cleaner cut and less tearout.The other benefit is less honing pressure which keeps rounder bores for much better ring seal
Here we are honing.I try to keep the bores within .0001'' of roundness and taper
Here's a screenshot of the readout on the hone.The image to the right is an exaggerated image of the bore,top to bottom
After cleaning the block,here we are in the build room,ready to start measuring and assembly
