You can hone the cylinder yourself with a ball hone and electric drill.

As for your blow by, I agree it was probably because of the dipstick vent. I was running STM's vent fitting in the front balance shaft inspection hole, and it filled the catch can in 600 miles. I removed that line and it doesn't even get oil in the catch can now, just condensed crankcase vapor (smelly as *** yellow **** lol)
Thanks for the advice. I guess might as well do it right while the engine is out. Interesting you mentioned the balance shaft fitting because I purchased one in hopes of fixing my problem but I guess that won't work either lol...
