    Hey bud, the RA on that cylinder does not look so hot. I would be worried about your rings....

    I'm the farthest thing from an engine builder but that surface does not look to make a nice ring seal...... Just my opinion.....

    Its going to the scrap yard in the next few weeks. I just got another engine to get machined. It is not worth the risk on having an issue. I didnt get trick flow heads and a good bottom end only to have it take a crap on me. Just going to start over.

    I just looked at the pics and that scratch is from whoever bored the block. After they took the last cut they forgot to back the boring bar off. At the top is where they relized they screwed up and stoped.
