Ive ordered a new top end re-build kit and while waiting for it to arrive i decided to pull the cylinders off to familiarise myself with what i need to do. This is my first time opening an engine, but im pretty sure its not right - the piston (only done one so far) has a lot of blow by (just worn rings i guess) a few "marks" lines running down the piston and even a line (crack?)
The cylinder has numerous scoring marks all around but all very light marks (are these seizures or piston slap?), the crosshatching is still very visible. I cant see any gouges or anything i would suggest to be serious.
Not sure how to post the pics in a decent size, but links below
