I'm pretty sure I've also heard or read that some shops will also warm the block before the final hone. I'll lightly ball hone a cylinder for fresh rings if there's no damage and it's just an annual fresh up. But if there's any question, it goes to a shop with a plate. I'd not a Barry or Brent but I have learned over the years that cylinder finish and prep, deck finish and prep and head valve work are the top three areas you best get right. Mistakes or shortcuts in those areas will really hurt the final product.
