I can still see the factory honing marks and I feel very little of a ridge at the top. I'll get my Nikon and macro lens on tomorrow and shoot some better pics.

Ball honing? LOL, I can think of a few innuendos for that one.

You mean bore honing? Or cylinder honing? I won't know until I pull the pistons out. Probably tomorrow.
