So the hot water pipe in your house doesn't get hot when you take a shower?

Last time I installed main studs, I torqued down the OEM bolts, measured the bore, pulled them out, installed the ARP studs, torqued them down, measured the bore and there was NO difference. Maybe just lucky with that block.

So you're saying there is no reason to align hone a block?
Did you torque the studs the same as the bolts or did you follow ARP's instructions?
How accurate were your measurements?
I don't mean to take a hostile tone, but if you never needed to align-hone a block, I think this process would have went out years ago along with knurling valve guides and pistons
