What is this for? was created by Gryphon

Hi,

I recently helped a friend collect the contents of a garage he had inherited and there a few items that we need help identifying.

The first one is this Snap-On brand tool that looks quite involved, but no idea what it does.

It's a ridge remover for taking out the ridge at the top of a cylinder. I have a similar one made by Sykes-Pickavant.

wee-allis has it.
Best thing with this type was you could just raise the ridge a bit without opening the top of the bore right up.
Just needed enough so new rings did not hit the ridge.
Yes I have a version on the shelf.
Cheers Steve

When your A40 or Pilot would start smoking at 30.000 miles,and needed new rings,these thing got a lot of use,but I dont see any need now.....unless you got an old Austin truck, I suppose.
