1.) How long did it take you?
2.) Did you hone? I was told as long as the hash marks are still visible / cylinders in good shape, it is not really necessary (Flex hone can hit the squirters, therefore I would like to avoid it if I can)
3.) Did you have to pull the motor? I am told it is not necessary to pull the motor

I pulled the motor since I was doing a cam and converter. With the turbo kit and aux injection just pulling the motor is a decent project. Then having never really dug into a motor I took my time. Honing was quick and easy, something like 45sec per hole. Cleaning off all the gasket surfaces took awhile and filing the rings took several hours. I bet I had 10 hours in the motor after it was out of the car.
My motor only had 3k miles on it but I honed anyways. There was nothing too it. You don’t really have to get near the squirters.
