[QUOTE="Harfend, post: 201111, member: 3724"] Update: I was able to remove the cylinder from the engine. Good news is the bottom end is fine! The rod end bearing is fine and the ring was perfect. As you can see in the pictures, the freshly recoated bore delaminated in two places almost directly across from each other! I contacted the plating company (US Chrome in Fond Du Lac, WI) and after I explained what happened and what I am seeing, they stated that delamination shouldn't happen but sometimes it does. I was instructed to return the cylinder and piston and they will make it right. This will be a warranty claim so all I am out is a gasket kit... I will provide updates as the repair unfolds!
