streets I have never done a bore on any block myself but have watched many being done. What you state is correct except I have never seen the block soaked in oil before. What I posted to tony is a bad boring job a friend of mine received. The cylinders were never cleaned out except for a quick rinse with soap and water. You can imagine what the cylinders looked like after just a 1000 miles on it.About a quart every 100 miles.
