the piston is scored pretty bad in 2 spots from top to bottom about 1/2 inch wide. the cylinder isnt bad at all. i think i can get away with running a ball hone thru it. right now im waiting on a cylinder bore dial gauge so i can check the specs and make sure the hole isnt out of round. i put piston #4 into the #5 hole and it has the same lateral movement as all the others but ill know for sure once i measure it. not sure why it is happening? piston,rings,rod bearing and wrist pin have no signs of cracks or wear and the cylinder still has cross hatch pattern from honing even after 180k miles.

doesnt the oil squirter only shoot at the bottom of the piston for cooling?

anyone know of a parts place i can get 1 piston with rings besides the dealer? $400+ for a piston is kind of silly.
