Default cylinder wall..
got som work done today.
Both heads are off.

On one cylinder 4, I noticed a tiny scratch on the cylinderwall.
Its about 2 cm long. And you can barley se it.
I cant feel it if I stroke my finger across it. But I can fell it If I use my finger nail and go up and down the cylinder wall. I will try to take a photo off it.
Is this a bad sign?

eh... hard to say...

is the engine burning any oil? if not, I would say its ok.

my best guess is that it was an error in manufacturing.

manufacturing glitch.

that would be a neato trick to cut a cylinder side ways when the piston only moves up and down.
