Yeah, there is a decent vertical stratch on the back face of the wall, but its not too bad..and just a few small nick/gouges on the wall..I am def going to put a ball hone through it for a new crosshatch for the new piston/rings, but i may just run a bar hone through the cylinder just a few times, just to be sure there are no high spots at the gouges. The cylinder prob wont seal perfect, but it should work pretty darn good anyway.

So far, the machine shop is completely rebuilding my doner head, with all new valves and oil stem seals, and surfaceing it, at no cost to me. I'll prob end up sending them the bill for the new piston later on after i get the head back :evilgrin

Should have the head done by Friday, new piston/rings should be here wed, and reassembly this weekend. Hopefully all goes well. No wait, fuck that, it WILL go well :)
