Yeah I’m not sure however I could send them through your company’s Facebook messenger if that’s alright with you?

Sure give it a shot. I don't go on facebook much so let me know when you do. I can post them here for you.
$25 dollar yearly membership ain't too bad for what you get.
I know I've pissed away more on a cheap hangover.

I sent em if you want to take a look the first one I sent is the most concerning since I can feel it but I’m sure I could hone it out but I didn’t want to keep going until I measured them the second one looks bad but I can’t really feel it with my fingernail.
To me that looks like it definitely needs over bored. Unless you can't feel any of that with your fingernail and it's just discoloration, but it looks like pitting to me. The engine would run, but the rings likely wouldn't seal up very well and they would have accelerated wear and it would likely burn oil.

I would probably hit it more with the honing tool and see if I could get those faded, and then straight edge it and see if it's still straight cylinder or it needs a bore job

For sure I’ll double check it and measure if it is still bad I’ll definitely get it checked by my machining guy

I will hit it with the honer after I measure the bore to get a rough size estimate for sure but it definitely cleaned a lot better than I expected it was horribly rusted
If you can feel it with you fingernail, and you somehow hone it out manually, it's probably not going to be round anymore.
