honing/boring in car

Possible? Anything is possible.. will you find a place that will do it in the car? No. Pull the engine, strip it down and deliver the bare block to the machine shop. This will get the cylinders bored and honed properly and at the least cost.. then just reassemble it.

yes as far as honing....i've done it before in my car...and my dad has a shop and he's done it before in others. why pull the engine if you don't need to.
as far as boring, i don't believe you can bore that particular engine any more that it is. i read about it somewhere and i think that's what they said.
you'll have to check around about the bore....but you can hone it....bring it up to my dad's shop....i'll do it...lol

i don't know. i've seen some 4-cyl that don't have a cradle so i don't know how it would work out.
