I personally have honed/installed a new piston and ring set into a cylinder with three giant gouges in the thrust side of the wall, probably.050" deep, and the car had 155 compression in that cylinder and didnt use excessive oil.

Hmmm... you live in Shoreview right? You're not all that far from me. Maybe someday if you don't mind, you should stop out here for just a minute and see how my walls compare with the ones you did.
