It should come out with a hone. Try using some brake cleaner and a shop TOWEL first. If you get it cleaned and it has pitting in the cylinder walls, then I'd become a little leery.

 

Man hope it comes out with the brake cleaner. Next time rub the cylinders down with clean motor oil.

 

oil is not as good as wd40. wd40 displaces water. Oil keeps the moisture in.

 

Thanks for the replies. Any ideas how much it would be to hone it.?

 

Mine are alot worse and it seems to be coming off with a brillo/SOS pad and WD-40. Don't get too worried yet!
