Ouch! For a little context I've rebuilt three engines in my life. One V8, one V6, and one straight twin. It's just a hobby so I don't have much experience in this area. What I was getting at is, I see cross hatch, the cylinders are still round, and the piston fits tight in the bore. The bottoms were not worn out-of-round by debris or whatever. I thought that could happen but I've been wrong before.
