Tom if the cylinders are not new, it is necessary to ridge ream them (unless they measure less than 0.001" wear) The hone you are using is good for glaze breaking (which is what you are doing) The 400 stones are just fine because they are not going to remove much material, and will prep the surface for break in. Use a low speed drill (about 90-120 RPM) and move full length of the cylinder so that the pattern crosses itself at 45 degrees from vertical. When putting the hone in, or taking it out, be sure not to let the stones drag, creating longitudinal marks. Stop honing such that the pattern is maintained. do not concentrate on any one location, stroke the entire length never letting the stones get out more than 1/2" on top or bottom. That causes stone breaksge and bell mouthing on the cylinder. Use engine oil cut 50/50 with diesel as a lube while honing. (or honing oil) As noted below, cleas and dry then oil before leaving them for the day. Good luck, JimN
