The '3' was probably inside a diamond shape ? If so - it was a size tolerance at the factory - not significant now. The original bores were not 'cross-hatched' - so if you can see that now, someone has at least fitted new rings and 'glaze-busted' the bores! Ideally you should NOT have cleaned the c...

I had to call RH breakdown a few months ago. Morning rush hour, and torrential rain. They answered the phone straight away. It took 45 minutes for them to get to me, but I was happy with that.
