So I was honing out the cylinders in my 1gee, getting ready to put the motor back together. I noticed that the cylinders have lots of horizontal scratching. It's all the way around the cylinders too...
I tried getting pics, but they really would barely show up. I might try again tomorrow when there is more light. I can't feel them with my fingernail, so I don't know how significant they are, but they haven't honed out yet. I've done about 20 passes on each cylinder and I'm sort of afraid to go any further.
What could have caused this? I only rebuilt it 3 years ago. I had suspicions for a long time that perhaps my rings never seated properly. Or maybe it was running that super shitty Redline air filter, just letting too much dirt though?
Should I maybe have it bored... it was already bored 0.75mm over. And so I could take another 0.25 out and put in new pistons, but I'd rather not if I don't have to...
