I've let my '87 60 sit for close to a year, and in the meantime, it got water in the cylinders. Honestly, I'm really not sure how. Anyway, I've pulled off the head and had it rebuilt, but I'm wondering about the integrity of the cylinders. I took some WD40 and a wire brush attached to my drill and got out the rust, but a couple of the cylinder walls have a slight indentation line that goes most of the way or all the way around the cylinder wall that I think was where the top of the water was. It's hard to see with the eye but is easy to feel. Also, the top of the block has a few spots on the edges that are ever so slightly irregular (orange peel texture) that may have also been caused by water.
So, bottom line: Do I need to pull the whole stinkin' block out and have it decked and have the cylinders bored, or should I make sure all the rust is gone, slap the freshly rebuilt head back on and try my luck?
Thanks!
