No solvent ,gasoline,diesel fuel,to be used ever.That is a recipe for disaster.

I'll be meticulous in my clean up, but is this safe to do with the crank in the block; planning on using lightly soaked oil rags at the bottom of the cylinders during honing?

My concern is the debris from the honing operation. My only experience is brake cylinders and lifter bores.

Use a flex hone very forgiving a 3 legged spring hone is really stone age stuff.Flex hones have been around for sometime. Many machine shops use them for glaze breaking.Go to a machine shop and talk to them for results.
Lifter bores and brake cylinder's are small bore jobs different finish than new ring requirements of today.Someone one in Vegas will help you out.
