[reclino]

Did a bit of careful measurement of a cylinder today. The top of the cylinder is about .0003-.0004" smaller than the bottom. So indeed there is a bit of taper, which will go away once the cylinder warms up at the top. Surface roughness is spot on at 6 RA and feels just a bit rougher to the touch than the reworked cylinders. Now to clean everything and check the ring gap.
