There are 6 holes in the plating inside that cylinder. 3 of which the rings ride over. A little groove won’t hurt a thing
I like how you think, lol
worst case…it cuts wood until it blows up. Then, it becomes another project saw
My brother's early 281 had a bit of carbon scuffing on the piston and still blew 180+. And that was after it spent awhile running a 42" bar on a mill. I tore it down, cleaned up the scuffed spots, put a ring in it and it's kept on going. I say run that saw like you stole it, if the jug fails shelve it, sell it, or find a better jug and put that on it.
Either way it’s not the end of the world. And the only parts that can be ruined are already questionable. I say bludgeon it to death and see if it will lastI like how you think, lol

Carbon scuff is in another category. This “scratch” is through the plating enough for a fingertip to feel. So, unless the plating is .020 thick…
Well, eventually I will croak and some poor schmuck will end up with this saw…
