Last time that I put an engine with a ridge in the cylinder back together without removing it, it had an annoying ticking sound because the ring would barely touch the less than finger nail deep ridge an was ticking,the top ring was showing some slight pounding in the groove learned my lesson then at my expense of doing the job over at no cost to the customer. ALWAYS!!!! take the ridge out, and sometimes on large bore engines, have even used a sanding flap wheel if no ridge reamer large enough was available, messy to clean up behind though. Gene
