Do I have the block specs checked. I am mechanically, but do not have the speciality tools for checking the roundness of the cylinders.
When they clean the block, I imagine it is a bath of some kind, what will happen to the surfaces where the camshaft test?
Is it necessary to have the "bushings" replaced?
I have leo's book, and will check out the inliners.org

Unless the motor had 350,000 on it a honing should be fine. Most of the time to lap valves you will have to cut the seat or they won't seal right. I've done several small engines and that's been the case so I don't see how a bigger one would be different. But if they aren't worn to bad they may be ok...pending on mileage it's a toss up. lol But you want a dependable driver...I'd do Everything while the motor is apart. Your going to want a new camshaft. And yes, you'll want new rod, main, and cam bearings. I'd recommend Clevite.
