Bought a couple tools today for this project. Does anyone know the angles for the cross hatch pattern?

I and others have covered this in the past.
In short *45. more or less.

That said, do understand that DEGLAZING is what ones does with a FLEX hone or dingle berry ball hone.
They are not really hones, but are deglazes.
When one bores a cylinder to a specific size, it is left a few thousands too small,it is then "precision honed" to the desired size.

Why?
Precising honing removes the minute high spots from the cutting tool, smoothes the bore AND gives a light cross hatch to promote new ring seating, and retention of slight oil residue for lubrication.

The stones used to do this precision honing are various grits, depending on the cylinder material as well as the ring composition.
Chrome rings, cast iron rings ,Moly filled rings etc all require different stone grits.
I have to assume you are just reringing a worn bore
otherwise you would not be asking the deglaze angle.
A word of caution:
The last thing one needs to be doing is excessive deglazing as the cylinder is already in most cases worn oversize.
Just a light scratching is suffice.
Of course one could work all day using a deglazer and not take off a thousand and a half.

Not so using a precision hone.
Many shops including myself, can take a cylinder to .010 larger in 15 minutes just using a precision hone.

Do understand if a cylinder has a ridge at the top of the bore, it needs to be removed.
This is seen mostly in an engine with with 100,000 miles or more, usually this is not the case on little lawnmower engines.
(unless they have been re ringed multiple times or operated without an air cleaner)
If the ridge is not removed, a new top ring of full thickness and if a new piston is installed,it can cause the new to ring to break because it will be hitting the ridge.

Now all this info is for cast iron bores.
Aluminum and chrome bores are another ball game, I'll not get into now.
Sorry,
sometimes I provide too much information, but some ppl want to know.

I bought 2 cans of mariegold gloss Rust-Oleum spray paint and 2 cans of white metal primer. Will this paint work on the engine block though considering heat? Do I need to buy this… No one locally has it.

What have you guys used to paint engine blocks?

Does this look OK to you guys? I know vertical lines can be compression losing issues, but they’re so little. My dad thinks the little low spot is high enough that the piston won’t reach it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
