Bore scoring starts because the coatings on the cyl and piston skirt have been worn off and you're left with alum on alum, and that doesn't go well. Once it starts, you can't stop it but if caught early you may be able to slow it down (see Jake's video series). But chances are you'll be unaware of the coatings wearing off until it's too late. It doesn't take long for it to get so bad it's drinking oil like a drunken sailor and finally the knocking noise arrives. By then it's too late.
