There's worse. Years ago a buddy of mine wanted to do a "simple" rebuild on a Chivvy 250 for a Chivy II. He gave the machine shop the block and told them:
Do whatever you need to to clean the block
Do whatever you need to to make this ready for rings. If it needs bored, bore it. If it needs the deck milled, do that
He gets it back:
They hot tanked it complete with oil gallery and core plugs in place
milled the deck including MILLING OFF the dowel pins and HONED THE cylinders
I did not say "ridge reamed" and THEN honed, I mean HONED period. The ridge was still there, complete with I - don't - know - how much taper.
This was a long time shop in San Diego, for all I know they are still doing..........uh........"business"
