Looks like the bore was off. Take to a different machine shop and have them mic it. Then take it to a second one and have them mic it as well. If the results from both are too tight for the piston/ring combo you installed, you need to have a chat with the shop that did the initial bore and hone for you.

A piston scuffing that hard is usually a sign of faulty machining. If the bore had been done correctly, the rings would have held the piston away from the walls.

That actually looks a bit loose... my initial post still stands, have it mic'd against the spec you should have received with the new piston and rings. A bad bore and hone is still a bad bore and hone, if the machine shop screwed up, they owe you a new cylinder, piston and rings.

If it is within the bore/hone spec range, you're most likely gonna have to eat the cost.

The place that did the job asked for the piston as well as the cylinder. Did you do the same?
