So this doesn't scratch the cylinder walls? I would think that since the skirts aren't really smooth anymore then it would be easy to develop scratches on the walls that could cause a whole list of problems.

A few thousandths is a few thousandths.
Clean bore D16 - a hard find, they are all 7+ years old now - take STD Vitaras as noted, but the ones with a little wear on the bore are the slappers. Frankly, the guys running Vitaras to be cool and only making 250-275 aren't going to have aproblem with this, but try running a big power D16 with **** *** piston-wall clearances and see how long it is before you run into problems.
