Cylinder scoring and general frustration.

[Nessism]

I use a thin coat of oil on the bores to keep them from rusting and an even thinner coating on the piston skirts. Pin gets a good slathering but I don't use anything on the rings. If the engine will sit for a long while than some extra oil may be in order but otherwise I go light.

After the hone I scrubbed with soap and water to make sure it was all clean upon reassembly.

And then, you wiped them down with oil on white rags until they came out white, right?
Then, you wiped the cylinders down with either 50W motor oil or assembly lube and then installed the pistons with assembly lube/oil on the skirts, right?

Dried the cylinders off a bit with compressed air and towels, then sprayed the bores down with pb blaster and wiped them out. They were going to sit for a bit so I sprayed them down with pb blaster again and wrapped them up.

When I installed, I wiped the bores clean with paper towels then applied clean oil to both the bores and the pistons. Oiled the pins/rod eyes on installation as well.
