I'm not following you here. The dealer is charging you for what? Honing out of round cylinders? If so, I'd be telling that dealer you won't accept something that needs to be fixed before it's installed. JMO.
Bingo! Maybe the dealer is charging for the extra work of checking the new cylinders....which of course is specialty work that they would
not ever do on their own.
Maybe they're taking the common position that cylinders from the MotherShip are
always "in spec" and if the customer really wants to have his cylinders honed to a truer spec, well that's on him, 'cause the MoCo says these are good to go.
If that's what's going on, that the dealer says they don't need the additional work, but the customer *elects to have the cylinders *made round*......then I want to know if they now will say his warranty is out the window because he
elected to do this.
Also, what's the MoCo's "specification" and how can it be checked, since no-one has the Emperor's New Torque Plates.
If the new parts are not round, he should insist that they get other kits until they find parts that ARE.
