Jim is right but you need to understand why.

Honing just like any other operation removes metal and only makes your
lifter bores larger & your lifters looser.

If anything you need to measure your lifter bores to see if they are too
large already.

Subject: [VANAGON] 2.1 rebuild - hone lifter bores?

Hi folks, should I hone, or scuff up my lifter bores? They have some bright
areas. New lifters going in.  Thanks for any advice - Tom.

In a word, "No."
