its funny you mention mate as I was reading des hammils famous book last week, he reckons for race spec motors you do.
I am wondering do we not want to lightly hone the bores at least to restore some crosshatch? can this not be done at how with a 3 stone kit?

bore surface is more critical than a thou over size ,stone hone kit will do but you need slow drill and good timing
