Ed is spot on.
The rear main will go out of round just like using or not using a TQ plate on the deck for the cylinders. I always align hone with 55 & oil on a bolt, a stud @ 50 with moly lube when I align hone and assy. I use my same assembly TQ wrench on it, too It is critical. Why even bother align honing if you are going to pull it out of round when you put it together??
