I put my piston in the freshly honed cylinder, I checked the rings and made sure they didn't have any sharp burrs on them but I rolled it over a couple times it looks like the bottom expander ring
(the one that is corrugated looking) where the ends butt against each other has marked the wall I can't catch a finger nail on it, but will it get worse when there is compression on it,
it is more of a mark than a scratch it is about as deap as the hone marks.

Should I pull the cylinder and start over, I would just like some other opions.

You will be just fine.As long as it's not to deep as the rings set they will compensate for the scratch.
