will it hurt. whats your opinion

I don't think it would hit the ridge if it were installed, but I have no idea how you would get the piston and rings back in the cylinder with the ridge there.
I'm not a machinist but is it not the standard bore where the ridge is, so why would the ridge hinder the install. I would remove the ridge if noticeable, so that the curved ridge would not interfere with a new square edged ring.
