divergent opinions on this subject (I also asked over at the Performance BB).
From what I gather, my limited time and very limited funds would be better spent getting the head resurfaced and/or a valve job etc. It seems like honing/deglazing is something to be done as more of a restoration process (on a well worn engine), in conjunction with a ring job and/or rebore. I guess doing it in another context (like Bryan did) is a matter of preference.
My car is a '91 9000T and was well maintained by the previous owner. It has (only!) 130,000 miles, so I don't see any reason why this should be necessary.
On the other hand...changing the balance chain crank sprocket...that seems necessary!!
Thank you everyone for your thourough responses!
