On OEM block its best to hone using the same gasket and Hardware to used in the end build, I have seen where using a stock replacement gasket 7733PT-2 and going to a 1003 Felpro gasket will change the bore dimension at the top of the cylinder.

OEM blocks are pretty frail compared to a Bowtie or Dart block
