Taper bore??? Generally, if the bore isn't straight, it's time to bore it oversize.... In any event, measure the top of the bore.

I haven't the faintest idea what you are talking about.

It is a tool that you can push the pistons directly into the engine without using an adjustable spring compressor.

Ah. Then yeah, measure the top of the bore, get one that is slightly smaller, but, has some provision to prevent IT from going into the bore as well.
