Hi Les, Beg, borrow, buy, rent or steal a ridge reamer. I agree with jake. Your mechanic is over-anxious. Look for another one next time. Jerry has an interesting thought about tapering the lower (edge of the?) ridge. However, I am unable to see any easy, practical way to do this acurately in the field. Too risky for my liking. I have removed some pretty hefty ridges from the tops of cylinder walls with no obvious detriment to compression. A carefully calibrated comparison test might show up some difference but my guess is that it would be relatively small. Do it right. Get rid of that ridge completely now while it is easy to do so. Then you know it will not cause problems later.  Rod
