Factory specs:
Cylinder Bore, Max out of round .005"
Cylinder bore taper, max .010"

when reconditioned, both should be brought back within .001"

Bores are larger on the bottom of the skirt from wear due to the geometry of the rod angle, right?

No, pistons have a slight taper. When you measure for wear, you measure the piston perpendicular to the wrist pin.

That's very odd.
