And it is not necessary for other engines, unless you are working with smaller sizes. No need for this engine, can do it with 2nd engine if you want - maybe...you will learn somethingFinished the cylinder, at least I think so. Used 400 grit and 600 grit silicon carbide. Feels and looks very smooth. No mirror shine, but from what I understand, not required for the Webster (please correct me if wrong).
Thank you. The measurements are allowing for a slight taper smaller at TDC. As I stated in an earlier post, it is difficult to measure with a telescoping gage. In any event, per my measurements, the taper is gradual from about .873" at BDC to 8727" at TDC. I think this may be a good thing.And it is not necessary for other engines, unless you are working with smaller sizes.

If the measurements are the same then : Great
Which lapping method did you use ?
I did use the lap similar to Adrian's website link above and that I photographed above shown in post #55. I modified it.
