It would appear the intent behind my post wasn’t made clear.
The OP has a .002” ridge (or, 1/2 the thickness of a dollar bill)he’s worried about.
I’m saying......... don’t worry about it.
Ball hone it and put it back together.
I’ve re-ringed stuff with way way way more ridge than that....... no ridge reaming...... motors ran just fine for years.
I agree
Thought you meant you could take the .002 out with the ball hone in less than a minute. Heck I have heard of people running moly rings on an untouched worn bore successfully. I've never done that.
