I use 280 grit stones for my own hone and it leaves a nice cross hatch pattern in the cylinder bores. Use a very light oil or mix the oil with kerosene or mineral spiris to thin it and let the oil flush away the grit as you hone the bore. Be sure that the stones do not go below or above the bore as you hone it and don't let it come out as the stones may break. Use a slow speed drill to power it and move it up and down with a slow steady rythmn.
After honing I always use hot soapy water to clean the grit out of the bore and repeat it as needed till a white rag comes out clean, then I dry the bores and coat them with some good oil to keep them from rusting again.
Also remember that if the bore is out of round or tapered it will be that way when you finish honing it also. It takes a boring bar to correct those conditions.
