If the motors out of the car just run a hone through it.
How to fix light scratch in cylinder wall.
If i can hone it out can the rings be adjusted to fill in the couple thousandths that are honed out.
It is probably a couple 1000 s of an inch at the most.
Just throw a whole new set on.
Bolt it back up and call it good.
If they don t end up being good well then atleast you can weigh the costs of having a machine shop rebuild it or possibly find a used short long block in good condition.

Only problem is burning alot of oil especially at start up and notices blue smoke between gears.
I dont know if you can buy 1 set of rings if not a set of cast iron rings are cheap.

Originally posted by lostforawhile that sounds right the 220 would leave deeper scratches and better hone marks to break in the rings i could see using 400 if you had to take apart an engine with low miles where the rings were already seated did you use ported pistons.
Btw i don t care who you are what i said is fact provided that in the verticle scratches they are less than the surface of the cylinder wall and not raised up into the cylinder inside diameter at all.
I can barely feel it but it s enough to worry me.
Or should i just do a light ball hone and install the piston anyway.
What options would i have to repair a scratched cylinder wall.
I bet if you take it to the machine shop they ll tell you to properly fix it they will have to bore all 8 cylinders turn the crank hot tank new cam bearings and before you know it they ll have the tab up to a 1000 bucks.
He changed out the plug and has been driving it for the last year like that.
