A score that deep is bad news as it allows hot gasses to escape that can eventually burn a vertical groove in the piston. SUE THEM!  |
When using a boring bar, isn't is done with at least 2 pass. i.e. run it down, then back up, so the boring bar is at the same position it started from while still spinning? If that was the case, no such score mark will occur.
We need more info from the OP.
