A 50 cent hone job is just using some fine emery cloth by hand to the cylinder walls to scuff them up a bit and clean up any minor rust or wear spots. If you do this, be sure to clean out any fine dust when you’re done..
Yours might be better served by using a flex hone (also called a ball hone) to clean them up and put some cross-hatching back on the cylinder walls. A flex hone is easy to use – just use a lot of oil when running the hone in and out and also do a good cleanup afterwards.
Not sure about the crack in that one cylinder. I think that probably just makes your block a good anchor.
