Initial reading: Well, I had to step back about 6 feet and still feel like it's a picture of hoover dam. I'm no expert, but it looks fine to me, no obvious crosshatching but no obvious scoring either.
Impression: Looks good, I'd say 32 yo healthy male, but could lift another 200hp and 320tq.
Final result: It's okay mate. Stop babying it, give it some gas. You only live once, your kids won't care about your delicate touch or how clean your V8 is. They still want that electric ****box.
Final remark: Why is that picture from 3/16/22 and a euro spec date ? hmmm...

Looks good to me. Prolly would be better to post up a video offering full 360 degree view.

ooppss I guess I could reset the time on My new borescope. The marks just seemed weird to Me. The other 7 had some black streaks and what seemed like normal wear. #5 actually looked great. 4 and 8 still had some cross hatch showing. I am probably watching too many bad engine vids on youtube. I just bought the car 1 1/2 months ago.

Normal looking the rest of the way around the cylinder.

Ya I think yours looks fine. If cylinder no. 5 is good, I wouldn’t worry about the others.
