Align bore is a more common term, But I think either process could be used, depending on how much material needed to be removed. You can hone cylinders with a hand drill and cylinder hone, or you can put the block in a machine with the hone on a spindle that does a high precision job with the correct crosshatch finish. refinishing the crank bore is similar to reconditioning connecting rods, except that all the main bearing bores must be aligned, which might be a challenge in a straight eight. I'd think you'd need a spindle supported at both ends. A dummy shaft to check the job would probably be needed, too.
