Apologies should be directed to those who read the misinformation, not to those who correct it.

Far easier (cheaper) to put the caps back in their proper order, although not as easy as if they were marked before removal.

Line bore/hone process moves the crank centerline, higher in the block, which shortens the distance between the crank and cam. This makes more slack in the timing chain, and causes the main seals to be slightly off center.

Time and expense aside, the operation should only be performed if actually needed. When replacing bolts with studs, for instance.
