When I save the image and look close at the honing pattern, the diagonal honing marks seem to continue thru the vertical scratches in almost all of the cases. That means some scotchbrite may well do the trick. I'd take a good close look at the honing pattern under strong light and evaluate it in person, then make your best call. If the honing pattern is mostly complete, you'll see slight oil burn. I'd look for piston rocking, too. Rotate the piston to about 3/4 of the way up the bore, and carefully measure the distance from piston top to block top on both the exhaust and intake sides. Now rotate the piston past tdc to about 1/4 the way down the bore, and repeat measurements. measuring tool must read to .0001, like a micrometer depth gauge. You're looking for piston rocking, and you may hear a slap as the piston cocks the other way as it passes tdc and bdc. Rotate more vigorously to get a more distinct sound. You should have been able to hear piston slap (like vavle ticking but louder) at and just off idle in the engine before if you have a collapsed/collapsing piston skirt.
