Really you need to remove the cylinder and have it measured by a pro or try it yourself if you think you ca do it right.

Ice racer should be able to guide you in the right direction as to how tall the cylinder should be from base to top deck.

think the base is ok. he said at bdc it was even with the bottom of the ex port. its just at tdc it hangs out, which like jerry said. does it have a long rod, stroker crank or wrong piston. says it doent have any of that so the top of the cyl has had to much removed. at tdc it sticks out the hole.

Spend $20-$30 on a decent micrometer. You will use it many many times. I dont know what the exact # s are. But i know the factory suzuki manual will tell you the cylinder and sleeve heights. Measure them or have a pro check it. 
You said that the piston is covering the exhaust port just before TDC but at what degree on the crank rotation is that?  Without a degree wheel you cant know if the port timing is correct.
I also wonder about the PC on the cylinder.. It looks great but often PC'd cylinders need redecking afterwards due to the baking heat of the PC.  Could your builder have decked too much to compensate for the distortion of the base or head surface after the PC was cured?
Im kind of echoing others here... You need to get very specific answers from the builder to find out whats up. And take it from there.  I suspect the cylinder was far from true on either the base, head or both sides and material was removed to square it up.

Sorry just saw you were saying the piston was BTDC on that.  Im not sure of what the measurement or position of the piston should be on the 250 at BTDC, but i do remember very detailed pics and measurements from my factory 90 250 manual.

That's 43 thousandths of an inch, and 0.99 of a millimeter. Might as well be a mile! 0>me

Be sure and measure the bore the head is set up for. You spacer plate will work fine to +- zero out the piston to top of cylinder. It sounds like you have a couple common issues, stock head that hasn't been chambered properly for the bore size and a sleeved cylinder. As you piston grows in over sizes you NEED to have the head opened up at some point to properly clear the piston or you can crush the ring lands. A sleeved cyli deer will have had the topof the cylinder trued to set the sleeve the same height as the casting.  If there were imperfections it could have had a lot taken off usually  a few thousandths is all you need but a bad cylinder ;can require much more.
Be sure to check the head.

A chisel? Shoot just drip a little acid down there till it works silly. It'll probably be polished too maybe.  P*

I joined QR just because of this post. I gotta know how it all worked out and how this thing runs!
I'm sure it's gotta run on 110 or greater, I'd say she's gonna have plenty of compression. I'm building an 88 motor right now. The faces where the cyl bolt to the case on mine are a little scarred up and I've been gathering info on how much can be cleaned off of each cyl land and what head and port mods must follow. Found a must read for everybody (since it's free) http://www.datafan.com/Horsepower_Blog/gordon-jennings-two-stroke-tuners-handbook/
Check it out! Loads of info. It's got slot of the formulas. Also I have an LT manual here if y'all want me to look anything up.

I'm ignorant. Why did he have to make a spacer? Why couldn't an alternative solution be had? Is his Jug decked?
Read me; you'll probably regret it

His piston was sticky out of the top of the cylinder ALOT when it was put together.

We are speculating that "someone" aggressively cut the deck too much. So he had a space plate that would be placed at the base to raise the cylinder back up to spec.

Now on mine I had .40 off the bottom and .20 off the deck. But I run thicker afm gasket to fix mine .I think the gasket is .40 .when I had my head cut fir proper squish I had to use a gasket because of a defect in the cylinder.
