The LA Sleeve liners have enough material in the walls to safely do this. I have a honing plate you can barrow if you need one.
Thanks Phil, I'm going to have Corey put the engine together. I'm collecting parts now and jsut want to make sure I get the right ones. I'm sure Corey H. has the honing plate but if not I'll take you up on your offer.
