Big thing is all oilways scrupulously clean along with gasket surfaces, a tiny amount of gasket material in an oilway will wreck the top end

I didn't put too much pressure on them..gave them a waggle and out they popped!

I've measured my cylinders, pistons and ring gaps, (see pic) Measurements seem to be only just within tolerance, out of round and taper seem ok. What do you think folks? ...will I be ok using the cylinders and Pistons as they are Just replacing the rings ? Limit for cylinders is rebore if diameter is greater 61.1mmLimit for piston is replace if diameter is less than 60.85mmMy measurements seem to be very close to these limits although they are within them.
