Thanks for the heads up on the honing, already knew about that ridge. This is my second V6 build. Last one was a 4.0 that was running before the rebuild. So I didn't have to tackle this rust problem.As for "Nothing that a good honing won't clean." Always rem the ridge - if you measure you will see one; otherwise you stand a good chance of breaking a piston. When you hot tank it - which I recommend - the machine shop will guide you on that.
