Block Honing

[nhramnl]

I myself prefer a dingle hone (available at Auto-Zone) powered by a Black and Decker hand drill. Though other drills will do the job, I have found the B&D to be the gold standard for true, record-setting power. Email me for more speed secrets.

To get the best work possible have a set of old mains installed and torqued to keep the block bores from getting dinged. Have an old set of head gaskets the correct thickness and make to go under the torque plates, yes one on each side if possible. It probably makes no difference but I assign bolt and or stud placement. Over the years I have my own torque plates.

Another great shop is BES in Indiana.
