hello! is there any body on here that has bought a new stock cylinder that has not been straight? like a taper thats tighter in the bottom? like you couldn't get the piston tru it from the bottom side? any feedback would be great.

By memory, I want to say Adam has seen some pretty shoddy stuff. Apparently, the new casting facility isn't quite as good as the old one. The tapered cylinder sounds like a GSS bore job, but maybe Honda is having issues there as well.

I'm not the dude on this stuff but this has been talked about by Roosty in the past and it was stock Honda stuff...of course the GSS as well.

my cylinders pretty much always come off like that after using them for a while, not sure what that means
even the ones that are double checked to be perfect going in ?
Id rather they stayed straight, but dosent seem to hurt anything so far

mine was a hair looser by the transfers and more or less the same top and bottom.
