Default piston damage on skirts.

just wonderin.

on 400+ cossie yb,

if pistons(+.5mm 4*4 mahles) were new, in a fresh bore, run in period 1000miles,
always warmed up and down,
engines never boiled up, nor run out of coolant,
oil always fresh 10/50 fully, on max mark, and good oil pressure.

why did the piston skirt and bore score?
piston had good compression and didn't let go b4 strip.

cheers danny

airfilter is a new k+n.

the scores in bores arent bad, can see, but not feel, but on pistons can be felt.
