You can buy a decent stone hone for not too much money at your local flaps.
Use a variable speed drill with a slow speed.  You need to match your
rotation speed with the "in and out motion" of the hone to get the proper
crosshatching pattern.
Use some light oil for honing and then use either Auto Tranny Fluid or Marvel
Mystery Oil (are they the same thing?) to clean out the cylinders.  You will
be amazed how much junk is left in the crosshatching when you wipe out the
cylinder with a rag.

Hope this helps,
