Well I thought I should feel a slight pinch. but one guy on the track showed me his engine (newly broken in) when turning the flywheel (cold) i could feel a somewhat strong compression, without any
metal parts touching.

so i was a lil confused. Im always confused

One other thing, Is it normal to see fine scratches on the piston?
