Thanks guys. The rod alignment and the piston looks fine.

I'm mainly worried about reduced compression in no. 3 when gases pass the piston rings going into the oil. That scratches are 0.04 inch deep. I was planning to put a 6.5:1 head on.

Would it be fine to just bore / sleeve cylinder no. 3 - or shall all cylinder be done?
