Can This engine be Saved by Honning

I bought a Snowblower with a blown B&S engine. The owner forgot to add oil and it sieze-up and messed-up the cylinder at the very buttom and toasted the piston and rings. If I were to hone the cylinder and install a new piston and ring set would this be enough. Honing will not repair all the scrapes at the base of the cylinder. Everything else seems to be ok. Please see pictures

I would simply replace the engine. It is most likely going to cost you more in parts than a replacement engine will cost and your effort will be better served retrofitting a new engine. Without getting into the semantics of the manufacturing process, aluminum crank cases unless they have sleeved cylinders undergo a special treatment process that conditions the cylinder walls. A fine example as a result of not checking the oil beforehand. Starwarrior
