I would tear the engine down and check it out for other issues. based on the grooves in the #3 bore and the poor hone job I suspect there may be other issues. If the only problems found are the grooves and the cross hatch, I would sleeve #3 and bore/hone all bores to the next larger size to clean the bores up properly. Here in the USA the cost would be only about $400-500
