Becuse the piston has no piston rings you need to get the piston in perfect shape with the sleeve. The sleeve will be cooled by the fuel on the lowest part of the sleeve and hot on the highest part of the sleeve. With the temperature expansion the sleeve will become straight. and then the piston needs to be polished to the sleeve zo start very carefull!
