I have used a ball type hone on many normal re-ringed motors that are not high performance, from 345 scout motors to 350 chev truck motors to vw's and all I was trying to accomplish was to deglaze the cylinder for the new rings and old pistons. I think it works fine. If the motor is already at the machine shop then I will pay them to hone the cylinders only if they are also boring them for a larger piston. The ball hone is only for deglazing.
