Main bore size help?

I did some measuring with a bore gauge a it came up as 2.799? Is that number off for the main bore size with no bearings after getting the block honed?

Before everybody starts screaming, we need more info...
What block is this?
Stock main bolts?
ARP main bolts/studs?
What torque value do you have these set at?

Sounds like the shop didn't cut the caps before running the hone through the block...
