What kind of comic was that in? If the ribs are loose then any work can loosen them further. I've bored hundreds of chokes and never had it happen.
Thanks for the sarcastic reply, Richard. I don't read comic books anymore, and only wanted to know if reamer chatter could loosen ribs. I imagine that in all cases of rib solder joints coming loose, something causes the joint to fail. I suppose that could be anything from poor soldering, tinning, or fluxing to the stresses from firing. I have bored exactly zero chokes, but I would surmise that if "any work" can further loosen already loose ribs, then "any work" can loosen ribs that are not yet loose.
