did you use one of the hones with all the little balls on it, or one with long skinny stones?

Balls, baby. Balls.

I used a 320 grit Flex-Hone. I think a slightly rougher grit might have been a good idea but done is done. 320 isn't ridiculously smooth, it should be okay.

I also used a new toilet brush for the cleaning. That was pretty good but I would have liked something larger.

Ford Rod bolts are expensive. Luckily, it looks like Polaris Rangers use the same bolt for half the price.

The RockAuto stork arrived today...New main bearings and front and rear oil seals.
Interesting that the rear seal comes with an installation tool included, I wasn't expecting that. I figured I would just improvise with some PVC or something.
I wont install the crank this weekend, maybe next weekend though. Need to get a dial indicator.
