take it to a machine shop and have them hone it out, you may have to go with a larger bore piston if the scratches are deep enough.

resleeving is also a good option but expensive.

hone the walls unless the scratches are actually deep gashes.

Take your block to a reputable engine machine shop and have them check it out. Unless the scratches are really deep, a .020" overbore should clean it up.
