It's possible it could cause that smell.

Wipe out the cylinder, and put it back together. If you still get the grease smell it probably isn't from the cylinder. If you don't hear any grinding noises and the gears are all shimmed properly you should be good to go.

I've never greased my cylinder. Really? Do you use a metal or plastic piston head? |

I've never greased my cylinder. Same here. Just use a ported piston head. The material doesn't affect the airseal, the o-ring does. You might try putting just a bit of silicon oil on your o ring to smooth it out some. |

I you have the materials/tools, I would recommend polishing your cylinder until everything is relatively even, smooth and shiny. This will hopefully help the piston head not scrape it, as well as provide a better, more consistent airseal.

Its a matrix cylinder,and there groves are circular and match the outside groves, im pretty sure they are supposed to be like that |

Dude, if your inner cylinder isn't smooth on the inside, you're gonna have bad time. It'll wear your O-ring down much quicker. I'm not 100% on it, but in my mind, that just seems like a bad concept.
Might work ok with a poly head, but metal, I could imagine plenty of things possibly going wrong.
Smooth cylinder all the way. That's just my opinion.
But try a different cylinder, it might change things a little? Worth a try.

I accidentaly ran an Ak with a dry cylinder years back. The o ring practically melted and then froze up. Once I replaced the o ring and greased it up it was good to go again. I do not suggest running a dry cylinder, ever...
