absolutely ...

That is a scuffed liner. Happens when someone installed rod bearing and does not check the side-play in it to see if it is in a bind, or too tight... then cranks the enigne and its scuff-cuty.

If u have aftermarket stuff ...are the rod/main bearings after market too? - if so, you absolutely need to always plastique aftermarket bearings for just this reason,... another reason why I won't use them. - Even so, even if it is OEM rod/main bearings, if it was in a bind when it cranked the first time, it will do that. Seen guys do that a lot.

I just watched the series.Start at 5:35 part 5 for that specific thing, in case you're wondering.
