Cylinder bore is scratched up!
Did a some photo enhancement to get a better look at what is the extent of the corrosion in that cylinder wall.
That "White Loop" in this picture appears to be the upper water line, like there was a cup of water sitting in there for some time.
These are 90° v8s, 45° on each bank.
That white loop water line is the upper water level where it sat in that 45° bank, hence the angled line of corrosion.
Pictures and the light reflections in the photos can be deceiving as to how bad it is.
Would get in there and clean that out a lot better to remove the optical distractions. So much so with some 180 git by hand on those bad areas, then follow up with WD-40 and the new red scotch bright pads to clean it all out.
Those red scotch brite pads are pretty sharp, will help to clean it out better.
Then take another look at it.
