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 . george
