like fitting any secondhand barrel...

1. is the plating OK
2. are the port edges chamfered adaquately
3. is the piston/cylinder clearance within range/spec Piston size tolerance A/B/C (micrometer the piston, bore gauge the cylinder)
4. is the barrell height standard - assembly test/squish clearance test
5. Is the left cylinder a good match to the right
