honed a 200 block, piston skirt scuffs

[64 200 ranchero]

I just had my 200 block honed and the machinist showed me that one of the cylinders had some scuffing from the piston skirt, I think it will be ok since it is away from the comp ring area, what do you think?

What do the skirts look like? They usually are collapsed when they start scuffing the bores.

the skirts are a little scratched but look ok, I've decided to just have that cylinder sleeved, I dont want to bore it since i bought new pistons already

I would think the cylinder should be ok if it honed good, and it not were the rings travel. Good luck

I plan on putting a lot of stress on this engine, i was quoted 150 to sleeve it, I would of just bored it but i already had my new flat top pistons balanced, i should of machined the block first. oh well, its getting fixed and ill have one nice engine when im done.
