Read my rod bearing

I opened up the engine on the '92 because of a knock in the #6 cyl. I have not pulled any of the other bearing caps to compare and I still need to buy a plasti-gauge kit.
I originally suspected a scored cylinder as the culprit but upon pulling the head I instead found a horrible attempt at honing the cylinder by a previous owner.

So until I get this stuff measured up, does this look like normal wear? (other than the scoring) Or could this bearing be the source of my knock? Experts help!

I'm including some pics of a good cylinder and the #6.
