I just finished cleaning out the bore of my (faulty...) wheel cylinder.

There is a ridge down by the pressure/bleed vents in the bore.

It's about 1/8" away from the bottom of the bore, and is almost 1/32" 
thick at its thickest point (guess).

Is this a sign of wear, or is it part of the casting/machining?

I intend to hone the cylinder (not with a power hone, will use dowel and 
400 wet/dry sandpaper)

Also, I have 2 rebuild kits available, one costing $3 and one costing 
$16.  I am buying both to compare (different stores).  Will notify list 
if they are identical :)

Thanks...

    Too many rocks and not enough sand.
