i'm hoping to be able to hone and not have to bore, but who knows.
you can rent one of these from home depot.. Why go through all the hassle hunting down a scope when you got to take the head off anyways. You got to measure the cylinders to make sure there not ovaled if you are going to do a rebuild. A hone will do in most cases if you had fucked up walls you would get real low numbers like 0-30. how many miles on the motor and how beat is it that all plays into what your looking at. When i re built my motor it still had the OG OEM hone marks i only rebuilt it due to the fact i dont trust allmost anyone when it comes to motors.
