I need a few opinions on this one. I checked my piston rigns yesterday and the top rings were past their wear limits, even though the compression and leakdown test were pretty good. The engine has 150 000 miles and seems to run strong. The crankshaft endplay is just a little shy of .006" which is the wear limit. I'm thinking of just putting in new rings. I dont have the tools to check the cylinders and pistons but the cylinders have a very slight ridge at the top. Am I asking for trouble by just replacing the rings? Do I need to get the cylinder ridge honed out? Thanks. Pascal '84 Westy
