Hey Guys,
Haven't been on for quite a while due to Family stuff. Anyway getting a little more done here and there and am going to build the motor over the winter.
Block is an original bore 1987 5.0HO - history is not known other than that
It will be carbuerated when finished, not EFI. (Nostalgia)
Magnafluxed and was fine
Decks are good
It has the new cam bearings and freeze plugs in already.
Using Moly rings so I thought I'd hone the cylinders with a 400 grit flex hone first
Loos great except for some marks near the top of the cylinder #1 that will not hone out
#1 - piston seems fine.
Not like vertical scoring, almost like the marks are horizontal.
I need your opinions on how bad this is. Should it be a concern or not?
Just building a nice street motor, no NOS but have aluminum heads and a .512 lift Comp 281HR camshaft
Thanks for your thoughts on the scoring.
Chris
