Hay guy!
My questions is about a cylinder head that I got here which has
scratches and lean seize mark along the cylinder wall. The
cylinder has nikasil coating will I be able to polish it back
with emory cloth and install new piston and ring? can nikasil
coated cylinders be brought back to life or once they scratched
or groved they are stuffed? thank you guys! if you all need pics
I can get em for ya!

If you can feel your finger nail in the groove it is likely too
deep

cool! yeah its had a lean seize where the piston was pretty much
welded to the head lol. did a bit of reaserch and apparently if
nikasil coated then you cant realy do much to it.

It's cheaper to buy new than even to re-chrome a cylinder

Where it matters is on the cylinder wall above the ports. If
there are marks at the bottom of the cylinder or on the piston
skirt, you can replace the piston and get right back to work.
