The hone doesnt appear too bad, although it does appear they took alot of material off while honing vs. boring close to spec, and then honing the rest. A good rule of thumb is to run your fingernails across the hone un an upward motion, and see if the nails catch in any of the horizontal marks. If they do, then the hone may have bitten down too hard.

You want the hone to remain slighly rough to the touch, as it assists in the break in process.
