Now, when they did the rebuild, were the cylinders bored out to the next oversize or did they just re-ring it? What kind of head work was done? Were the valve guides in spec? I had shop put the wrong valve stem seals on a Honda engine before since they ha

Well, it is possible that you had the problem but running the synthetic masked theI’d also like to point out that in order to properly measure cylinder wear you would normally do it at 3 points within the bore as most of the wear occurs in the upper third of the bore, they might not have measured in the right place but that’s just a th
