If you plan to reuse the stock crank take as little out of the bores as you need to to clean it up true. If a hone will do it, great. If you need to bore it .030 over then so be it. The 1 or 2 cubes gained by taking it out as far as possible aren't worth it unless you are building a max effort motor.
