Resources on line boring

I’ll preface by saying I’m not really a welder, just a heavy equipment mechanic that welds sometimes. I’ve always farmed out line boring work to an outside contractor. I’ve helped them set up and even welded up some bores for them to help. Where I live now I’ve noticed a complaint from a lot of local companies that they’re unable to find someone to come line bore.

I’m interested in exploring the possibility of adding line boring services to what I do but am unsure where to learn. Setting it up square when the bores way out, tooling, tolerances etc.

Wondering if anyone can recommend some online resources for learning more about the process. I’ve even considered buying a set up and some clapped out machinery or buckets to teach myself on but that seems like a big plunge
