Yes, but a very light line hone. Just a touch.

For seating the thrust bearing, I used a dead blow hammer and gave a couple of whacks from both sides. My machinist didn't think this was necessary and gave me an explanation of why, but I forget the details.

Yes, I measured endplay and it was withing spec, but I am at work and don't have the notes.
