Pat: see answer to James above.

I won't be able to work on it again till about Friday. I'll update then.


1/2 a turn ... OK.

1. An out of round bearing journal with tight clearance would do that ... But would not expect to see that on a fresh rebuild!

2. Cylinder bore taper (sleeve problem) as mentioned above with pistons/rings binding up ... but again as in #1 not likely.
