Do i need to bore this block?
I got this b20b block a while ago. I noticed some scarring on the cylinder walls and wanted to know if I have to bore it or just get it honed? The scars catch your finger nail slightly let me know what you think?

Re: Do i need to bore this block?
heres my opinion..
I wouldnt do a real hone if the scars arent that deep. I would use flex stones (flex hone) to deglaze it and maybe it will fix the issues. If it doesnt, then a hone from the machine shop will be needed and/or a re-bore if theyre deep
flex hones are only 30 bucks
edit: if the engine blew then i would have the bores checked with a dial bore gauge to see if everything is in spec. So a trip to the machine shop might be in your best interest
