Stain on bore

#2
Do you have any pictures?
Generally rust will cause discoloration (black spots),
Can you remove them with 00 steel wool ?
Kinda doubt it would be hot spots in the bore?

A slight distortion in the bore will cause black spots. I have had race engines (v8's) look like that where the head bolts pull on the deck, but have never had any noticable performance issues from it. They usually hone out easily. (not saying thats what you have but stating what I have seen).
