I will let you know how it goes before I leave feedback.

Bearings were replaced by (edit, by me) with new factory novas less than a half gallon ago, the motor was in a oily bag for storage. There is no scratch on the piston it is a rub mark, I thoroughly took the motor apart completely when I purchased it (again less than a half gallon ago) and saw and documented what your talking about. It's merely cosmetic and the motor runs fine.
