I'm thinking about tearing my block down again to have it honed. I put it all together by just lightly sanding the cylinders with some 400 grit paper. But now I'm thinking with the 12:1 it would be a good idea to just take it and have it honed, then replace all the bearings. So my question is, I've torqued the head down about 4-5 days ago and it has definently never ran, so can I resuse the gasket or do I need a new one since it has been torqued? Also how much does it usually cost to hone a block? Hopefully <$50-$60. Also how much do bearings cost? Isn't there a honda dealer on here that has good prices, Naples I think?

 

you could, i wouldn't recommend it, however.

I'd replace it, especially since it's one of the main gaskets of your motor running.

 

It's just one of those things, your there, why not do it right and replace it. Less potential problems down the road.
