Rods are fine. Wrist pin was a bit tight. The 250 pistons wont work. They are still a bit down the bore. That plus the dish and a slope shape toward the cylinder wall just wont get it. Tried one of the 153s and it sticks out about half of the top ring land and hits the crank at the pin boss. I could fix that. CRs and 1.779" for the 153 and 1.64" for the 250. If I could find a 307 flat top set at 1.655 I think it would be perfect. Well, close enough. So if someone has four .040 over 307 flat tops laying around..... \:\)
