If you can hone yourself or at no expense, then hone and recalibrate. You can always bore later.

Uh, I'm gonna say the latter, sadly.

On the other hand, maybe I am completely wrong.

What are your end plans ?

Rather large investment in time to get it apart, all apart, for either honing or boring. To begin the daisy chain of, " While it's this far, replace this and that.

Wild guess the enthusiasts will advise finding a 3.5, if you're thinking anything but hand sanding the lumps and pressing on. Too many good 2.8 short blocks laying around to dump money and time totally rebuilding one.
