RH quote the stroke as 5/8", near enough 16mm in the new money.

At 16mm stroke the end clearance is 1.5mm. You might get away with reducing the clearance to 1mm, which would increase the stroke to 17mm max.

You'd need to check that the piston o-ring doesn't overrun the port if the stroke is increased and you also need to be more accurate about mounting the cylinders.

What stroke were you hoping for?

Regards,
Graeme
