Piston question

Don't you have to final hone those cylinder walls yet after boring to fit each piston to each bore ? That in itself may be enough to reduce your area of concern at the top ridge area.

I would take a .040 piston ring and slide it up and down in the bore by hand near the top of the stroke. Doubt it will be anywhere near catching on the low spot that did not clean up.

Those piston rings are round and they will ride over whatever low spot is left behind.
You may have to go back to the .040 piston plan yet if you can't find the .060 pistons.

A little extra hone on those 2 cylinders at the top to help clean them up, the new rings will expand out and and take care of the situation.

Steal from Peter to Pay Off Paul . . .

Then you are not cutting another .020 out of your bores to get to .060 and run the risk of getting into the water jacket.

He tried that. He thought that honing would take care of it and honestly it probably would run fine the way it is but he said he didnt really like it. He told me he has seen worse run just fine and he thought it would be ok but he didnt like it. And he wanted me to make the decision on sending it like that @40 or going 60 so I made the call to to 60. He said the walls had plenty of material to go 60 and he didnt think it would give me any trouble down the road at 60. I even brought up trying to find another block and he said that one would be fine. He said worse case we can sleeve those 2 cylinders
