Its my first time honing..!!
First make a clockwise sweep while going down in the cylinder with the hone or emery, then make a counterclockwise sweep. Repeat alternate until you have the whole liner covered in the cross hatch pattern.
If you've never done it before, take a random piece of pipe of comparable diameter and length, and practise a bit. Its a simple movement, you'll get the hang of it soon enough.
