[V8] Ball hone

[d saad]

IT IS NOT SAFE TO RUN A BALL HONE THROUGH THE CYLINDERS!!!

DO
NOT DO THIS!!!

YOU WILL DESTROY THE BLOCK!!!!

If the
cylinders are within wear limits, just clean them up with a chemical
cleaner and call it good. If they are out of wear limits, well - you are
hosed unless you want to find a qualified shop to refurbish the block. It
can be done but you may as well just buy a new A8. It will probably be
cheaper and easier.

Are you replacing the rings?

I
would start talking to pashamad. He helped me get my motor rebuilt and it
seems to be running great. His method - and the one I used - was to leave
the crank in place, just replace the rings, and re-use the old rod
bearings. Of course everything was measured and verified to be in spec.
(bearings and bores)

For that matter - he just listed a rebuilt
motor here a few days ago from a wrecked car. That might just be the easy
fix for you - unless you are a glutton for Audi punishment like I am
:-)
