Hopefully you swept before laying the pistons out ...
Nope sure didn't, I figured the pistons were gonna be replaced along with either the heads or block. Turned out that the #5 cylinder wall was cracked allowing water to get in there. So the block, pistons and heads got replaced. I bolted on some Edlebrock heads that I had for like 4 years during this rebuild.
That cylinder looks like it can be honed and I would clean up your pistons with scotchbrite pads. Good luck with your rebuild. My heads were not cracked but the block was. I reused my MP 474 cam, this is the 3rd block that the cam has been used in along with the original lifters, I've been lucky. I do run some 15 year old 15/40 Shell Rotella oil, I have like 10 gals still. $250.00 is what KB243 pistons cost me in 2007, really cheap if you ask me and they have held up good since 2007 when I put it togeather. \
