Default Cylinders - need some input...

Ok, I got the head with the leak off tonight.

My question is: How much cylinder wear is acceptable? Most of the cylinders are smooth to the touch. However, I have one that I can feel some roughness. Dry Cylinder pressure was fine - 185 psi.

I looked at the cylinders more today and there is some very minor verticle scaring but there are some spots in the cylinders (blotches) in the #5 cylinder that I can feel with my finger nail that just don't give me a good feeling. :nonod:

Thougts?

As long as you are gettin good pressure, I wouldn't worry about it.
