Also I would not bore it out till necessary. Just rings and bearing and head job if possble reuse the pistons. The reason is it can only be bored so many times then new block or sleeves are needed.

X2, just hone it to clean it up and rering, new bearings, valve seals, and maybe 60lb springs in the head.

If the crosshatch is still visible and piston skirts are good your in shape!
