Actually another ABC Elfin solution just occurred to me. I've had some good results sending ABC liners to Ray Aronica the well know US Cylinder "pincher".

It's a long shot but he may just have a r/c car engine jig that would fit the Elfin.

It's quite possible that he may be able to reset the taper enough to run it.

His details are: [email protected]

Ray, perhaps restoring pinch in the lower portion of liner above the ports may encourage the piston rim to catch in those ports edges, much the same as a ring would in an unbridged port.

The upper portion of a squeezed liner has no such problem.
