The cylinders were very glazed. no evidence of cross hatching. Very little if any ridge at the top. nothing i can catch a fingernail on except on one cylinder and its really minor. I did use a flex hone to restore the cross hatch and yes machine man, i believe you are correct....it was burning oil because the rings never wore in properly ...there was no noise indicating piston slap. There is minor scoring on the piston skirts. I would go ahead and bore out further and upsize the pistons but to be honest, i dont expect to be putting that many miles on this thing. i just want it to run ok and not make a blue cloud on acceleration. And it seems like the few engine shops left here in the Austin area are either busy or dont want to mess around with a 50+ year old four banger.
