  Nice looking hone job!  I usually don't see cylinders straight enough 
for that purdy of a job!  It's going to take a bit of honing to get the 
scoring all out. :-(  They're supposed to use excess oil if you have 
scoring but then if you end up with a big bore (wear limit or close) 
then it'll use oil too.  I'd personally be inclined that if you don't really 
catch a fingernail on them, to call it good-e-nuff.  Just be sure it's at 
least as coarse as the slidey thing on a 3 1/2" floppy.  
  I usually go nearly as slow as a VS drill will do and up and down 
about as fast as I reasonably can. You want your intersect angle to 
be steeper as I understand.
