64 223

I am in the process of rebuilding my 223 inline 6 from my 64 styleside. When i pulled the engine and disassembled it, it was filthy but the piston ridge in all cylinders was not much at all, I am wondering if i should just re-ring the pistons? Or since i have it apart just rebuild the entire motor, I had the head reworked. I am kinda new to engine rebuilding, i rebuilt a 351 years ago and it was fine. Any info or suggestions would be helpfull............Thx 64's

Minimal to null ridges are a very good thing, but since you've already completely disassymbled it, you might as well go the whole route bore it as well, as it just might save you some headaches in the long run.
