Everybody's situation may be different.
Compared to the 440 blocks,383 are more prone to have uneven wear in the bores and ridges.
I prefer to have NO ridges.
During teardown of my 383 all appeared to be fine.It was a running motor with 62,000 miles on it.
After a hot tank and honing,the ridges were bad enough to catch your finger nail on them.
Plus,my ring gap was too big,or not reading even down the bore.
Ended up with a .040 bore.
