In my opinion it is far too scored to use, and so is the piston. The bore might clean up with honing, but heavy honing ruins the piston fit, which shortens ring life, increases blow-by, and generally gives an inferior result compared with either reboring and fitting an oversize piston, or getting a better cylinder and piston second-hand.
