I also noticed some slight scoring on the #2 piston's journal. My question is should I a.)replace the crankshaft,b.)remove it and have it refurbished,or c.) not worry about it because it is very slight scoring (I can feel it with my fingernail, but not with my finger.)? Thanks for any advice.

What you say about the shaft is a grey area among mechanics. Some folks think you have to have a mirror finish. But scoring that you can feel with your fingernail and not your finger, to me, would just warrant some action with emory cloth in the 240 grit range. When you get to where you cannot feel the scoring with your fingernail, finish up with some 320 grit and clean the journal thoroughly. No use in replacing or refurbishing a crank unless the damage on the crank will affect running clearances. Good luck..Doug in Tx
