Buddy at work asked me to look at his MS440 that won't run. Checked all the normal stuff and found engine kind of easy to turn over, piston galled up, 70 psi compression.
I ordered a Meteor cyl kit and assorted other parts, when looking at new cyl ports compared to old cyl the top of intake on Meteor cyl is higher.
Will this be an issue on how saw preforms? Other than this ports look beveled o k, cylinder bore is nice, exhaust looks good too.

Thanks in advance to all the guys smarter than me. Steve K.
 
It is the correct cylinder, maybe has something to do with original cylinder did not have decomp, older version New one is driiled and tapped for it.
