I only had to ridge ream the #1 cyl all others had no ridge, not much wear at all. I have to still get out the bore gauge to check to see if I need to take it .030 over, but the bores look good, no scoring or anything. right now I'm cutting the valves @ 45*. the head was rebuilt b4, as was the engine, new oil pump pickup, some new valves and shims under the valve springs, all signs of a rebuild. it was in great shape, only reason it smoked was because the valve seals were hard and cracked open.
