Block does not need resizing. I am simply doing a final finish to apply the cross hatching better than it is right now. I dont consider it sufficient at present. With the grade of the hone and time spent in each cylinder, nothing will be made 'sloppy'. This is confirmed by the manufacturers information, and advice from 2x mechanics who have inspected the block is that the final hatching has not been done on the cylinders. I believe this was left for the person doing the assembly, rather that at time of manufacture or machining.

The link I posted yesterday will show the specific info on the hone grade I have purchased. Also, a number of youtube videos on its use confirm my use is appropriate. I will give no more than 10 seconds total in each cylinder.
