No, the wrist pin keeper came loose or was never installed and the wrist pin ground a groove in your cylinder. The only cure is either sleeve the block or replace the block.

thanks Bear

It just looked so even but it didn't make sense. It was the bad motor I took out of my 65. is there any reason not to scrap the block it is a 65 casting but that doesn't seem to be rare so I guess it's one less thing to stumble over in the shop.

That usually happens when the C clip or lock is incorrectly installed. The side that is slightly rounded goes towards the pin end with the square side to the piston. It can also happen if the last builder used a C clip over.

I can't figure how you missed *hitty *hitty Bang Bang then. The flying boat-car. You must have been out in the garage working on a toy or something.
