Les,
Basically if an engine needs ridge reamed, it
needs new liners or a bored block needs to be
bored . Now having said that , I am assuming that
you are going to hone it using a rigid ,adjustable
hone.Worn cyl's are tapered and when you hone them
you wear the stones on the hone to match the taper,at that point they are no longer useful to
hone a fresh bored cyl as they will transfer the
taper to the new cyl wall. Therefore if you do not
ridge ream the cyl , the ridge will act as a stone
dresser as you hone the worn cyl ,and will help
you remove some of the taper as you hone . Spring
loaded hones do nothing to correct taper or the
inherent out of round condition that goes with
cylinder wear.They are best left in the store .
