But my < 50Hrs new powerhead, just broken in, got some small scores. There are two just above one intakeport, the cyl that lost the leaf. They are visible 1/2" beyond porthole, and feelable with fingertip 1/3" - 1/6" from hole. Compression was not affected. The other cylinder has one, at a ringend, but it is only visible, not feelable. Should I leave them alone, or try to borrow a honingtool ? Wil honing these small scores away not cost me as much compression as letting them stay. I could not mesure any loss !
