On a low HP engine
should you have the block align honed?

Re: On a low HP engine
Is the block housing bores straight and the correct size ?

Re: On a low HP engine
Did you take the block apart? How did the bearings look? The crank? Did the crank spin free in the block?

Re: On a low HP engine
I've seen too many variabes in factory mass production machining to say No.
I got to where I just lightly trimmed (.001-.002) the caps and dusted the main bores with the align hone on ever engine I built. It was amazing what I ran into. If it is a SBS or BBC be sure to install the oil pump. When it is torqued it affects the rear main bore.
