Wow, you can tell that just from pictures?! Does your shop have a website with your location on it?

I've seen some pretty deep scratches and gouges hone out at .010 or so, there's no way to tell until you run the stones thru it.

not to jump your case, but you've gotten anything from "yes" to "absolutely not," which is all that you will get. you are dealing with thousandths of an inch. For how much effort it sounds like the trip will be, do you really want the opinion of people online, that you dont even know, trying to make that decision for you?

how many of the people, do you think, that have responded to this post, have ever spent time inside of a machine shop?

you ask us to give you an answer based on a photo, shown on a flat screen of a computer, of a cylinder wall that we cannot feel or touch, tell us that you can catch a fingernail in it, then essentially ask us if it can be cleaned up with a 15 thousandths or less overbore.

my only hope, is that even if I **** you off and make an enemy, you will find someone that works at a machine shop in the area, and float him 50 bucks to go see the block and give you his unbiased opinion.
