Or should i just do a light ball hone and install the piston anyway.
Owner says a piece of the ceramic around the electrode of the 3 plug broke off and caused it.
Originally posted by lostforawhile that sounds right the 220 would leave deeper scratches and better hone marks to break in the rings i could see using 400 if you had to take apart an engine with low miles where the rings were already seated did you use ported pistons.

If your cylinder walls turn out to be good you could just rering it and throw it together with new bearings and gaskets.
If they don t end up being good well then atleast you can weigh the costs of having a machine shop rebuild it or possibly find a used short long block in good condition.
Only problem is burning alot of oil especially at start up and notices blue smoke between gears.
It is probably a couple 1000 s of an inch at the most.
What options would i have to repair a scratched cylinder wall.
I can barely feel it but it s enough to worry me.

It s a decent scratch or maybe even considered a light gouge.
Bolt it back up and call it good.
Vertical scratches on cylinder wall.
If i can hone it out can the rings be adjusted to fill in the couple thousandths that are honed out.
If the motors out of the car just run a hone through it.
It is a fairly deep scratch easily catch a fingernail on it.
Just throw a whole new set on.
Cylinder wall scratch these motors arent delicate little flowers.
I bet if you take it to the machine shop they ll tell you to properly fix it they will have to bore all 8 cylinders turn the crank hot tank new cam bearings and before you know it they ll have the tab up to a 1000 bucks.
I will pick up a caliper measuring tool to confirm.
