That price does not include honing, that is an additional $25.00. They are really affordable and I can't wait to get the block back and start running a tap through all the holes and blow out every crevice and port. Get it ready for the Camshaft and crankshaft. I have yet to find a camshaft that has the grind I am looking for. I suppose manufacturers could make a custom grind to acheive the results I want? Pricey? Still lookin round for the right deal on Vortec Heads. Brian
