is this advisable ? all i can see happening without a rehone is the rings taking longer to bed in, or not at all.
just trying to strike a balance between making my car stop liberating oil into the atmosphere without being "off the road" for too long. slapping new rings in is a weekend job, rebore/hone pistons and rings is obviously rebuild tastic. there isnt major lippage at the top of the bores, probably less than the average 140k'er. last time teh head was off i could still see hone marks down the bores.
