That was there from day one..just a mill mark. Possibly the bit picked up a small chip and ran it thru there.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550
NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it. -

So... I honed my cylinders and they came out pretty good except for this
Looks fine in the sunlight

But there is some light pitting in two of the bores


When I run a finger over them I can barely feel them in some spots but it's there. Is it something I should get honed out, trash it, or just throw it together and not worry about it? If it needs a honing I don't want to be buying oversized rings/pistons I already have brand new rings.
I posted these in my build thread, but I figured this would get more traffic.Comment

Looks like the bike sat for a long time. Marks where the rings sat. Doesn't look right to me, but hard to say from just a photo.Ed
To measure is to know.

Yea there are some pronounced rings where the pistons were. Went back and I could catch a fingernail on one part, ugh. It must have been sitting in a garage for a long time (it was really clean on the outside) but it must have gotten some moisture in two of the cylinders.
I'll be searching on eBay tonight I guess.Comment
