Did turbo run Amsoil? Hence the red cloration on the burn pattern? How does that piston look Hoser, any prep on it before installation?
Thanks for getting it in the shop for me sir!
No clue what kind of oil he use but the residue left behind was kinda brown and looks red in the pics because if the flash almost looks like rust but its not the flash does silly things sometimes.
The cylinder bore is not straight I suspect who ever performed the hone on this cylinder at the last rebuild used some sort of spring loaded or flex hone it just followed the crooked bore so the rings were trying to seat on uneven surface take 1/2 season of wear to make them seat if even then, by time they seated all the blow by would corrupt ring grooves.
Here are some pics of a lite hone with the proper ridged hone you can see the uneven areas.
No doubt the shop that did the hone will tell you a flex hone is ok, "never had a problem" "been doing it for years" "never had any complaints before" "those expensive hones are over kill" bla bla bla I mean really you didnt see Turbo tearing down his
Engine and running it back to who ever flex honed this cylinder did you, why then would they spend 500 bux on a hone when they can spend 60 bux and pacify Turbo and others whilst putting profits into their pockets.... You would have to drag a cylinder like this one into their shop along with the proper hone and give these morons a demonstration before they would understand and refund your money for the botched job they did.
