Need some advise from the guys with experience building ls1 engines I recently bought a forged 347 that was used form some one locally. When I got it home and cleaned it up I noticed it had some scratches in the cylinder walls. They run up and down in the cylinders and I am worried there will be problems with the rings sealing or losing compression. There is no ridge in the cylinders and it is only supposed to have 15000 miles on it. The scratches are mainly in the #1,3,5,and 7 cylinders. They dont look to be very deep but you can feel them. I have a few pics of them I need some advice as to if you guys think this will be a problem or not. Let me know what you guys think and if it is a problem whats the best thing to do bore the block and get new pistons or get another block or have new sleves put in this block?
