Haha no, I'm just one of the possibly many owners. I put about 18,000 miles on it since I bought it last summer.
I had someone say they look like factory tooling chatter marks, I'd think so too because if the piston did that it would look pretty mangled (plus it's horizontal scoring only). I definitely think someone did a hone and new rings sometime in the past, the top end looked like it had been opened and they managed to strip one of the valve cover bolts in the process.
Either way it's going to get a +1 bore and a new piston. I just hope that I can find a shop to measure it for me, or my digital calipers are accurate enough to see if it's a stock piston or larger. I don't wanna buy a new one that's too small...
