Surface Rust in Bores: How bad?
So I'm assembling a VE motor for my P10 after getting hooked on VVL crack (in my SE-R). The head has been off my VE bottom end and some coolant had leaked into the cylinder, and even though the water was removed, there is a slight surface rust in the bores.
How much should I worry? If I pop the cylinders and do a quick 00 steel wool "hone" or 400 grit wet/dry and oil, will that be okay? As long as the surface is smooth and the hatch marks are back?
Also, do the piston rings need attention after this occurs?
Thanks,
