TBH if the bore is pretty clean you could get away with using some fine grit Emery paper and wd-40 to sand away the rust at the top of the bore.

But if you do want to hone it just buy a small honing tool from Bursons/Repco and stick it in a power drill.

You can buy honing oil but I would just use kero.

Fit honing tool inside bore and use a slow speed and push and pull honing tool up and down slowly to make cross hatches in bore.

Should only take about 5-10 minutes to clean it all up.

Wash out kero with some fresh petrol then re assemble.
