I just dropped off my block at Car Quest tonight. They send it to another Car quest south from me that has a machine shop. To hot tank it, check for crack, and straightness, I was quoted $64! But now I added them to take out the cam bearings and freeze plugs...I have a feeling that it's going to cost a bit now though but I think that's a high price for just honing. I was quoted $115 to bore AND hone at a local shop...

$150 to hone is obscene. That's ~$19 per cylinder. Bore and hone is usually under $10 per hole.
