We used biral cylinders in our 2056 and have had a good experience with them. Not sure what the problem was with the tin. Could the tins be different and switched from side to side (not able to check right now)?
The 3 or 4 vertical support structures on the inside of the cylinder tins didn't jive with any vertical relief in the cylinder fins. I tried swapping the tins from the other side. Nope. Maybe I used a set from an older engine. I don't remember getting them mixed in with my other tins but who knows. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Regardless, I held my breath and cut and bent the supports to get the tins to sit flat. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Congrats. Did you run for 20 minutes with open pipes?

Yes I did! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
