Thanks guys.

Well the quotes I got from most shops were about as follows:

Just the overbore + hone: ~100$
Bore/Hone w/ tq plate: ~100$ more
Aling hone the mains: ~100$

So I'm looking at $100 more for each. Not grossly expensive, and I'm not trying to cheap out ... but as you said, that 200$ could go elsewhere if it would be better used there......

I'm going to be using the stock crank, but it needs to be turned probably 10 under. So maybe I should just take the block in and have it cleaned for now, and have the crank work done, order up my new main bearings, slap it together, and see if it spins freely? Then decide if I need the align hone, and take the block in for the rest of the work after that?

With respect to the torque plate ... again, most of you seem to be saying it's not necessary?? I would like decent reliability from this engine, but at the same time, it's intended to be streetable, and won't be subjected to anything hugely extreme.

Thanks
Dan
