If you saw the cross hatch you will also be surprised, after you measure, to find little wear. That being the case there is no need to change anything.

Let me caution you, not to mix cylinders and pistons and even barrel locations on the engine. Even though the wear might be well within the specs, do realize that each piston/cylinder will wear in differently as each cylinder will experience different heat/cool cycles.

Last but not least make sure that when you assemble the engine position the oil ring gaps preferably at the top of the cylinder, never at the bottom.....do you know why?

Good luck and keep us posted
