How big does the ridge at the top of the bore have to be before you have to overbore?
Or is it a case of; any ridge at all = rebore?

don't forget you can get a ridge from the carbon in the top. Only sure way is to measure the bores with some gauges, My engine had very little ridge in the top when I took it apart, but when I had it measured it had 0.008" of wear in it,
