What were the measurements if you did?

I cannot for the life of me find the paper I wrote the measurements on but they were all within spec, I would measure again but I already took my mic back to work.

Dud you hone the cylinder bore?

No and I know I am going to get reamed for this but I don't think I am I have talked to several prominent engine builders in my area and both suggested not honing if the cylinder walls look good.

Is it me or am I seeing up and down marks in the cylinder bore???? The up and down start about an inch down to the bottom on the cylinder wall. The piston skirt rides in that area. The cylinder may need bored if the marks are there. The engine will use oil unless the marks are removed.

Can you post of the piston????
