I think he meant "suka" as in "sucker". I don't think "suka" is a very nice thing to say, po-russki.
But "privet" yourself... I speak a little as my wife is Ukrainian.

No Kakashka !!!! Mine is from Kremenchug, 4 hours south of Kiev, 3.5 if you take the cheap minivan bus service.
I've used the stone and ball hones. I like the stone (long skinny blocks of smooth grinding stones) better than the ball. I think it gives a slightly better finish. Something like this:

So are you guys saying just fix #1? I had that in mind until I spun the engine. Now I am thinking the rings on #2 and #3 are pretty messed up since they stuck good and hard to the cylinders and I had better at least rering everything and do the rod bearings while I have the chance...

In that case, I would certainly pull all 4 and re-ring all 4, hone the bores, replace bearings if not in spec. If you plastigauge them, be sure every bearing is installed exactly like it came off.
i thought you said the cam was rusty ?
thats just minor corrosion (in poor boy speak) and should just wipe right off with an SOS pad followed with some 600 wet.
But if you find a mech cam is suitable and you have a stack of nice ones - yeh i'd prolly swap it. But hang on to it.
I've got an 82 1.6 in a Truck that was a running engine before PO decided to do timing belt/water pump. Then lost enthusiasm at halfway point, and left Vcover off while vehicle sat outside about 3-4 years. Shet happens and time flies.
Its more what i'd really call a rusty camshaft.
And was thinking of cleaning it up - and running it
Send me one of those from your pile !
dude I have a 1.6 TD that will drop right in that thing and your troubles will be over...

i don't see why Livermore has to be almost 1000 miles from my town.
Mapquest just sucks like that sometimes.
