Yup. Also sandblasting the inside to grow everything but the crown. Oversize rings in hand cut grooves. Oversize piston pins. BTDT. Ridge reamer to even out the bores.
You can hone the bores to reasonably close tolerances but not with a ball hone. DID that with a 1/2 inch hand drill and a spring hanging from the rafters. Drill press would have been better, but didn't have one.
My take: wornout engines have less hone marks.
