I have not touched the cylinders with anything except a soft microfiber cloth to clean them. The machine shops have quoted me upwards of $400+ to do the work. I don't know if the cylinders need to be bored, they look like they are in good shape except for that surface rust which wipes right off, just need to figure out how to keep it off, but as 79 said, just put some oil or wd40 in there. This is not the motor with the oil pressure issues, that was the one they sold me, which I gave back to them, this is my original motor which did not have oil pressure issues.

The timing chain is decently new, under eight months old.

Also, I have the block out, I'm only replacing the Main Bearings/Rod Bearings, and that is not difficult to do once everything is apart like it is now. The cam bearings look like they are in good shape.
