I've got a feeling this isn't your first rodeo so I'll try not to waste your time. A 1/16 taper at the top of the sleeve seems to be a somewhat radical taper. I can see where this much taper would be a problem for certain styles of compressors. I have three types of ring compressors, my least favorite is the old band,clamp ratchet type. My favorite is a wavy band over center clamp configuration.It seems to work when nothing else does. Resist the temtation to use a bigger hammer,screwdrivers or awls. In 40 years of engine building I've never needed them to install a piston.
