I would think you plan on putting it in a nice ride and I dont like having to pull a engine back out if something goes wrong... you have the heads off already... whats one more day.... yes that spot isnt bad but it would be my luck it has a issue, plus I'd look at the bearings... if it all looks good.. put it back together and have a clear mind about it... but thats...

JMO Exactly............saw a "finished" block from some [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] up here that a buddy was putting together that had bad rust in a couple of cyls and Rick the [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] machinest told him it was fine cos the rings would scrub through it and seal fine. I personally would do as Mike says and de-glaze or even ball hone the block. Rings are designed to seal not scrub rust away........ 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

I wouldn't ball hone without taking the short apart and cleaning everything before re-assembly. 7584343-ACUDA'fall07.jpg (64 downloads)

I wasn`t talking about in car I was refering to it being taken apart then ball honed or better yet although more money, have it properly honed at a shop. 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

Put the piston with the stain at bdc,turn the motor on an engine stand so the piston is upside down, clean with a scotch brite as best you can, wipe clean, and put it together. 8..603 156 mph best, 2905 lbs 549, indy 572-13, alky

I would be more worried about the rings on that piston. When I pulled the piston out of mine the rings were stuck where the water was. I used a small screw driver to pop the rings out, removed them , cleaned the grove and the rings up and reinstalled. { Did I say I was cheap } Didn't have any problem with the engine. it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
