i found some vertical scratched in my cylinder walls...i have the 2.75 240 grit and i ran it about 15 seconds per cylinder...used the oil too..

is this thing not useable?

also this engine had stuck rings, ive noticed where it looked like one left a noticable place on the wall...and we did turn this motor with those stuck rings to see if it would have freed up

edit: i did some more checking...i found a place that feels raised all the way around on one cylinder...

im very tempted to just throw rings and valve seals in my current engine to make it stop smoking and forget about this engine
 
The engine with the vertical scratches in the sleeve is a spare engine, and your current engine is smoking?

The scratches were still there after using the flex-hone?

Sorry, just a bit confused.

yes scratces was still there after the hone on the spare engine..and yes my current engine smokes, and the seals for the trans leaks every so often...

the reason i was changing engines cause of the seals in the trans, and also my current engine is unknown mileage

my current engine runs just fine but im planning some long summer trips

Why not put rings and valve seals on your current top end, then put the current top end on the other motor that doesn't have a trans seal leak?

Scratches on sleeves are not good.
