These appear to be the original honing marks in the cylinders, and they look nearly new.

These are not up and down wear scratches from piston movement.

Yup. Typical honing marks - not scratches.
Bolt torque is an approximate method to get the desired stretch (squeeze of joint) on bolts. Torque and turn is improvement over torque only. The best method is actual measure of the bolt length increase from end to end, but that is not practical for head bolts.
