[QUOTE="Brmorgan, post: 1833072, member: 23915"] If the marks are actually aluminum transfer from a burnt-up piston, it can be fixed. As stated, find some hydrochloric acid (commonly sold as "muriatic acid" at any pool / hot tub supply store) and swab it on the scored areas with a Q-tip etc. If there is aluminum there, you should see some bubbling and frothing, and if left long enough, a slight greenish coloring, as the acid dissolves the aluminum. Once the majority is gone, some fine ~400gr wet/dry sandpaper should take care of the rest. If the score marks are actually scratches in the cylinder coating, there's nothing you can do to help it. Start shopping. [/QUOTE]
