Heres a question for you engine builders. Got a block 87, upon teardown had water in one cylinder, took it to machinist and had it inspected. They said it didnt need overbore or crank touched, was straight . Took it home and started honing it. It cleaned up good, but that one cylinder is discolored where the water was. Seems as smooth as the others but wall has a crescent shaped discoloration. Is this thing any good, or do i have to overbore it?
