After searching the archives, I failed to come up with an answer to my problem. Currently I am rebuilding a one-cylinder engine. It has a cast iron block and the cylinder is in good shape. I borrowed a honing kit and used it to break the glaze and reestablish the cross-hatch pattern. So far, so good. I then washed the entire block with soap and water, as I had earlier lapped the valve seats. I then promply dried it off with some old towels and placed in our oven for an hour at 215 deg. F. I then pulled it out and immediately wiped the cylinder walls down with a film of 10w oil. The problem is that almost immediately I could see very faint signs of rust forming on the cylinder walls. Should I re-hone to remove the rust, or do you think it's OK?

Depends on how long it will be before use. Unless the rust pits the surface you should be fine. In the future buy a can of cosmoline and spray it. Oil doesn't work well and cosmoline is what most bare metal parts are coated with when shipped.
You can also dip smaller pieces in wax like they do cutter bits in machine shops.
