When your honing your cylinder make sure you move the brush up and down evenly in the cylinder using the press machine so that you get a good cross hatch pattern. It will take a while but its all good.

Re: cylinder honing
nah you can buy a honing drill bit. it will plug right into a drill. of course i would never do this, but if you want make sure you do not stay in one place too long.

Re: cylinder honing
I would deff take it to a machine shop. If you don't do it even your rings aren't going to seal right. Plus if you plan on keeping the engine awhile I would spend the few extra bucks and have it done right.
