In my experience, we do not have enough information here to respond properly to this question. Anyone who is trying to answer this without knowing the condition of cylinders is really just shooting in the dark. Have you measured them? Is there taper in the bores/ Is there a ridge around the top? Why is there rust? New rings? New pistons? Lots more questions need to be addressed.
Honing is the final step in a series of processes designed to help engines last longer and to help seat rings. Done alone, it can make things worse.
Depending on your future plans for the engine, you might want to rethink just honing. If the cylinder walls are not straight, the honing stones will only hit the high spots. If you keep going until you have a nice cross hatch pattern everywhere, your cylinder will too big for your existing rings and pistons. VERY FEW cylinder walls are straight anymore if the engine has many hours on it.
Not saying you cannot hone it, but striving for a nice even crosshatch with a drill powered 3 stone hone in a used cylinder can easily go bad in a hurry.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
