RE: Not under .100 on the thrust side.

That's not a desireable target but an absolute minimum for reasonable wall durability and stability. A more realistic minimum is .120 if you can do it. You can go under .100 if you're willing to hardblock the jackets. Some folks have gone under this with nothing special, but you're pushing your luck.

Ask your machinist about offset boring if you have a thin walls on the thrust. Also, your machinist should be able to give you the benefit of his experience with an opinion on minimum wall thickness. He has the most to loose, besides you, if the cylinder has sealing trouble.
This thread, so far...
