So, sonic checking the cylinder walls is just a start - so much more machining to do - big job just to get the mains straight - then decked - no wonder intake fitment on an FE can be way off!

Damn if I didn’t fall into a rabbit hole about piston knurling, after that video.

No "rabbit hole" on piston (or guide) knurling. 
Simple. 
Don't do it.
It reduces the surface of a load bearing area.
Unit pressure will go up and wear rate will be accelerated.

Oh, I’ve no interest in doing it. Apparently Powell has found himself in a YouTube debate with uncle Tony, about the subject. I unfortunately was clickbaited.
