Arp main studs. Line hone or no ?
Seen several post recommend a line hone with arp main studs.
Ive seen several posts where people say you dont need a line hone and thier machinist checked the bores and said they are fine.
Kinda curious how people feel about this now. As all the post im finding are from years back

Its always ideal to have any boring done with the hardware in place and torqued. Is it required? It depends on how much you going to nit pick your engine. I've build a few engines with bored cylinders that didn't you a torque plate and never had an issue.

No to align boring and yes to align honing. I would detail up the caps & block and then torque the studs/caps with the arp lube. Then check the bores for shift, roundness and size. If their within .0005” run it. If it’s only out a little more I usually just lightly run the hone through to true it up. Half of the shops will ruin your block. Finding a competent shop is the hardest part.
