Thread: EEK Motor Back From Machine Shop To Find This!!

I hear you Roger, no disrespect was intended.
I could be wrong, but I believe I was the first to notice the honing marks appear to be over the score in his picture. My caveat, without knowing the cause (the picture can be deceiving), if they honed over a score that deep, there may be other issues as the slight marks over the honing tend be an indication of a ring installation problem.
I'll stand by my statement, "At the very least I would pull the pistons and inspect the rings and piston lands for damage before I'd even think about putting it together." Of course, he (OP) should wait to see what the shop owner says on Monday first.

Nothing wrong with that approach, for sure, especially the part about waiting to see what the shop owner says. Can't hurt to pull the pistons & look, provided you've got a good ring compressor and do it right going back together.
