What causes this type of wear pattern in the cylinder bore?
No history on the engine. Could be made up from bits and pieces, but I think it has been assembled a while with how dirty and grimy it is.
In this configuration, it is the number one cylinder and the dark trapezoidal pattern is on what would be the bottom as installed but at the top of the stroke for the piston.
