Ppump 24v with 260k on it, suspected something was up as I started losing a Quart of oil in 400 miles when towing 6,000 ibs. At idle the truck shows very little blowby and passes the oil cap test no problem. Compression test on a cold motor at 60 degrees f shows 425,425,410,408,325,425. Did a leak down test on #5 after finding this and have no leaks out of the intake or exhaust. Stuck the borescope in the cylinder and found the scoring on the walls at 4 o clock as pictured. Trying to weigh my options here as I'm not really trying to wrap much money up in this thing as I plan on swapping in a common rail motor within the next couple of years. Do you guys think it's worth re ringing and honing, or should I just send it and keep an eye on the oil until I get a common rail put together? Trucks main use is to haul a jeep on 8-12 hours trips and I don't wanna entertain the thought of getting stranded.
