Yup, every cylinder had a line the entire length of the bore from where I measured each one with a bore gage. It still took some convincing before they believed it. So glad I'm at the point in my career where I pick the customers, not the other way around.

I had a CAT mechanic pull that on me on a 3208 job. Fresh out of CAT school and knew everything about everything.
Brought in the official CAT manual with Sunnen specs, blah, blah.
Not my first 3208 BTW.
Even after I showed him where that mark came from he was still aggressively insistent that it would affect ring seal and his future pension.
Fine, I will make it all better. Come back in an hour.
1 swipe down and up and it magically disappeared.
He walked off satisfied he had won the war.
I continued to do that after final measuring from then on with all blocks just to avoid any future stupid is encounters.
