Back in the 70's I helped a man work on his ford f150. The timing chain failed, had plastic gears, and valves bent when pistons hit them.
He was a believer in castrol oil and STP. Changed oil every 3k. I forget the cubic inches, small V8.
We pulled the heads and sent it in for a valve job.
There were zero scratches on cylinders, no ridge on on cylinder.
Except for timing gear and timing change failure, the lower end of the engine was like new. I think the engine had around 150k. The bed of the truck was totally gone, rust.
Got it back together and all was good.
Does this prove anything? Or was the timing chain and timing gears not one of Fords better Ideas? You decide.
