uh, it looks like you used the wrong hone for the job, considering the deep horizontal scoring now on the cylinder walls in your "after" pic. it also looks like you honed at nearly a 30 degree crosshatch.

GC-600-J or finer honing stone for non-ferrous metals is supposed to be used with a 60 degree crosshatch at 45-50 rpm. FRM is much softer than iron sleeving, and use of a standard stone setup will destroy the cylinder walls. the honing device is available from Snap-On.

hopefully the photos just arent doing your work any justice, and that the blur of the hone in motion LOOKS faster than 45-50rpm.
