Rust on Cylinder Wall

dgoodhue

BuSTeD 4.3
A junkyard motor that I have has rust on the cylinder wall of #5 cylinder (exhaust valve was open) It was bubble up and I could definately feel it. It didn't easily come off with a cloth or by my finger nail.

I turned the motor over by hand and the piston rings knock off 95% of it off. The rust is knocked off up to the bottom most ring.

1) How do I remove the rest of the rust. I was thinking of using a razor blade or maybe scotch brite (the more I am thinking about it might be a bad idea).

2) If the rust was being knock off by the lower most ring, do I have to worry about the rust being trapped between the 2 rings and it might score up the cylinder walls?
