Regardless of who makes or supplies the liners , with the correct protrusion, the liner will hourglass .
<div>Only way to correct this is the use of a torque plate and then proceed with boring and honing to final finish size . </div>

<div>Yes , a lot of work but you’ll get better ring seal and hopefully not stick a piston :-)</div>

Boring up to 89mm : I would rather buy 89mm liners, without the need of machining.<br clear="none">
