yup. also make sure you clear enough out to clear the petals when they are wide open.  I assume those are the YZ85 reeds

And use 4 pcs of long M6 bolts as guides when test fitting, as someone (Chuck?) described in an earlier thread. Run the long bolts through the reed block, and screw them into the cylinder. That way you can be sure the reed block is properly centered in the reed cavity when test fitting.
