Did you measure piston to cylinder clearance before & after honing?
Did you cross-hatch cylinders for new rings?
Did you measure ring end-gaps?
Measure valve-seat contact width?

Depending upon what those numbers are, that's difference between worn-out engine vs. new.

For new rings, you don't need any honing. That's only for removing material when fitting new oversized pistons. Basically just follow steps in manual, 1,2,3, etc.
