TSP says the same thing. I think it is kind of strange to need a hone. I've always said if the crank spins free while the mains are torque.... all is well. Dunno. The studs would have a slight tendency to load the whole bore, vs bolts that tend to load the closer threads...

I do know the second time I put the heads on, I dropped like 10 ft -lbs off the head stud torque and they were still hella tight. Way more than the bolts, forget now. But WAY more than the LS stuff. Why? Dunno.
