Beats me. Al Parker does the honing, and I just trust him for the ring package. Never been wrong so far. I still check the tension. We had one 0.060 over 283 that literally was air tank tight. Zero leak down on 8 cylinders. Zero, nada, zilch, nothing.

I've been a lot of places in 44 years for engines. He's absolutely the best cylinder wall guy in the world. Absolutely. And his valve jobs are tremendous. We had one engine pick up 0.11 after another builders valve job. Now that is not normal but on the average friends and myself pick up .03 over anybody else's valve job.
