I had not torqued the down yet, and since I dont know exactly what u mean by having the block line bored I would have to say no on that one, but I do believe I had them recondition the rods. I have to check the reciept cause I don't know for sure.

Line boring is a similar process to reconditioning rods. It is the process of making sure that the journals that hold the crank are truly round and properly in line with each other, and also within tolerance to fit the bearings and crank. This should include the or half moon seal (some call it an "eyebrow") at and above the rear main cap. It should be SOP for rebuilding an engine.
 
Yes the rods were checked and reconditioned. And I did have an ice cold cup of my special mix sweet tea in the process.
