Those could be from the machine shops dial bore gauge some time the ball on the gauge gets sharp and will leave a line like the one you see

Look like marks from installing/removing and file fitting piston rings.

mine had marks like that from fitting the rings (in-between filing steps) and checking with the dial bore gauge. I'm planning to run it.
