Ahhhh Haaah.... Finally got the Hook in...

Okay.. Basically every engine builder seems to have his favorite style of
boring then honing a cylinder... what underbore would you start the Honing
process and what steps would you take to get the optimum finish.  Are there
different finishes required for Nitrous or Naturally aspirated Vs say Turbo
charged applications.

I wish everyone here had a better introduction to your qualifications
John... it's not bragging if you have done it!!!...

Keith ( I know there are a Bunch of Nascar engine builders that you have
hung out with as well.... pick a few... )( Ps... Work ? )
