ahh thanks man. yeah whats the point to pay 80.00 a hone job and wait 2 weeks to get your block back, when u spend 30.00 at advanced and buya cyl hone and it takes u 5 min to do the whole block. and you can start assy as soon as you wash and wipe it down.

TB and fuel rail and block turned out nice after scrubbing with degreaser and a tooth brush for hours. i was impressed by the rail though. it looks brand new.
