Does anyone have a ridge reamer I can borrow?

Thanks!

:d When you pull an engine apart, in most cases there is a ridge that builds up in the cylinder just above the piston that has to be removed before pressing the piston out of the top of the cyl. The ridge reamer removes the ridge so you can get the piston out without breaking it &/or scoring the cylinder walls.
It doesn't sound very pretty though... I'll give you that.:eek2:

You'll see them walking around Harry Hines late at night. You can rent them for about $30 for a half hour so I heard!

Sorry Steve, couldn't resist that one.

Thanks! I went to an Autozone this weekend & they guy behind the counter said that they didn't carry them. (of course I don't think he even knew what I was talking about) I'll go to another store & try to find it.
