No, the cylinders look great. It's only done a couple of thousand miles on a
rebore and I can still see the hone marks. The pistons were second hand
however, but the block was bored to give .002" clearance. I am a bit stumped
as to why the ring broke, but it may become more apparent when I remove the
piston
