What's bark park cost on bore and hone per cylinder ? Do they go by how much size over or same price no matter what.

That depends on what cylinder wall finish you want. Using diamond hone, or if you want "torque plates", or if there is ultra race quality hot-honing involved.

There are some variables as procedure as well as machine shop location. Quality work is dependent on the knowldge of the person using the machine, how hung-over he is, and if he is stoned while he is doing the work. I have seen many shops that are still honing holes like it is 1960.

Expect to pay up to $ 40 per hole for decent cylinder hole work, double that for real race prep stuff.

And NO, not all honing is the same. Ring material must match the roughness of the finish. You must decide which parts you are using BEFORE the honing is done.

added= Also going performance might dictate a sonic test on the walls before boring.
