Standard practise for finish honing/glaze breaking would be a ball hone soaked in ATF of a light motor oil.
As long as you guys washed the block first with warm, soapy water before final assembly, you should be okay. This VITAL step removes any iron particles and abrasive material left over from the honing process. |
We sprayed each down with carb cleaner and wiped them down with a towel. Then gave them an oil bath before installing the pistons.

I was talking about it with him on Saturday. He said the same thing you did about the dry hone. He said he's seen guys dry hone before and that it shouldn't be an issue but that he recommends using oil especially if the crank is still in the block because it helps keep the stone material clumped together so it cleans up better. Since we didn't have the crank in the block he said it isn't a big concern.

Here's some time lapse from July 15, assembling the bottom end. That was a lot of fun.

Nice, were the main caps installed in the original orientation?
