Yes, that is how a bore naturally wears... if you can believe it that is actually metal moved from the bore and deposited there.....
When taking the pistons out the top of the block that is typically removed by a ' ridge reamer'... available at most local part shops for loaning or renting out...
If you attempt to take a piston and rings past that ridge you are taking the chance on breaking a land on the piston...
