George,

  I have to disagree with your observation.  The boring tool, by itself will not yield a surface appropriate for seating the injector o-ring (and easy removal for service).  It will have to be followed by honing or reaming.  And most (inexpensive) boring tools are difficult to adjust to +/- 0.001.    Jerry's best (& least expensive) bet is to have a standard size reamer ground down to his target size.

Regards,
Dale R.

Jerry,
The boring tool should be very accurate - provided your using a mill and
holding the job very securely.
