[QUOTE=Cliff R;6413740]I don't do either but it's still a good plan.

I will NOT use a block that needs line bored/honed. If the block has "moved" or not thru thru the center of the main bores or other line bore issue or problem, and the crank doesn't turn freely with two fingers (no rear seal installed) I woln't use it.

When I started the Pontiac hobby I read the HO "bible". It says Pontiac blocks rarely need Line boring.
