I just got done using a flex hone on my cylinders to prep them for the new rings.

Thoughts on the outcome?
Also, somebody was looking at the block at the house and said I was missing a ring "step" at the top of the cylinder. I wasn't sure what he was referring to. Can anyone enlighten me?
Anyhow, on to the pics...


The score right at 3 o'clock is the one that I was hoping the flex hone would clean up. I can BARELY feel it with a very gentle touch. Should I just have it honed at a machine shop now? Would I need oversized rings in that one?
