Take your block to an engineering firm that have a propr honing machine and get them to do it, I don't think it's a very expensive operation.

If you're determined to do it yourself one of those drill-powered abrasive wheels with lots of flaps of emery paper sticking out from a central core seems to be the preferred tool. Be totally meticulous about cleaning up afterwards!

I've no idea how good they are but they are certainly advertised as the tool for the job.
