here is the picture of the cylinder, absolutely no scratches or grooves. on the right side of the pic. is just oil on the side wall that looks funny.
BigBoyz will "street" port your heads for $299, retain OEM valves and springs. If you want chamber volumes measured, surface milled, compression releases, etc. those services are additional cost. Pretty sure that if you send the pistons, Bean will fly cut the valve reliefs as well assuming that the piston has not been structurally damaged.
