In the picture with the cylinder heads off it appears it's not rebuilt because of the blackened piston tops. Did you just slap some new rings and bearings into it? When I tore into mine I found it only had about .002" taper and that was in the first 1/4" of top ring travel. By just glaze breaking it with my 3-stone Lisle hone the cylinder walls almost completely cleaned up........................
