Engine Clanking -WTF!!!

Judging from the pictures, it looks like pre-ignition.

As far as just doing a hone, go for it, if the cylinder bores are decent enough. That's all I ever do with my own cars. My 1G has stock bore stock pistons in a honed block and my 2G has stock bore Wiseco pistons in a honed 4G64 block. I did a hone in my garage with my first build on the original 2.0l engine in my 2G and that one was also fine until the oil cooler blew off and killed the motor.

That's the first thing I thought as well once I saw the pics. But it also could just be from shit smashing around?

I didn't want to comment as it really is difficult to tell with metal debris also.

It is a case of the chicken or the egg, the rest of the cylinders look okay. I'd maybe get the injector flow checked just in case.
