Hello, I'm rebuilding a 2005 Evinrude 250 Etec 3.3L powerhead for use as a fishing boat motor. I'm installing new WSM connecting rods. The new rods look beautiful with nicely polished bearing surfaces. What is the opinion on lightly honing a crosshatch pattern on them? I've heard this will help the needle bearings roll better and reduce the chance of them sliding. Or should I run them as is?

Thank you
