From a machinists point of view.

Realistically you may or may not have to hone the cylinders.

First let me get this out of the way if there is any abnormal wearing like scoring or gouges or anything that looks like friction welded material in the bore honing is useless without a re sleeve.

Now let’s ask some questions.
Are you using the same piston/rods and the correct factory sized bearrings? If yes and just changing rings you only need to use som 600 sand paper and some brake clean to remove the carbon at the top of the bore.

If you are using new or aftermarket pistons rods or bearrings you might consider a mild hone but even then you likely won’t need it.

Now if this was a race car then I would say go for it but otherwise save your money.
