Light rust is no big deal, just have it honed. If its bad, you can alway have it bored
.010" or .25mm over and get new overbored pistons and rings.

it looks light rust.. but if i bore my block do they have to take the pistons out? you guys know how much it would cost me. its only rust about 2 and half inch from the top.
