One thing to think about when a block is line bored (honed) is the cam, and crank gear might become too tight, when this is finished. This process moves the crankshaft gear closer to the cam gear, and may bind if too much material is taken out. I could think a good machine shop cam measure the block to be sure the repair is really necessary. I would have the rods resized if anything as Allan mentioned, this is the thing most likely to become distorted. I had a block with poured main bearings on my AC M, and had to have the main bearings repoured, and line bored was the only way to resize the bearings. I don't want to do that too many times($$$).I did save a block on my JD where a main bearing spun in the block, and had it honed back to size. Just my 2 cents worth. stan
