Well I spoke to soon so after this - no more updates until its running....
Hung a piston on a rod Monday - no rings and put it in the hole with the crank at TDC... but the cap on with the bolts finger tight - rotate the crank .... CLUNK WTH now..loosen the rod cap off 3/16 goes up and down .. @#$!@#$!@#$ tighten the cap CLUNK @#$!@#$ take the rod out .. the counterweights are hitting the back of the pin boss.
Get my old piston measure, measure the new ones.. they added 0.2" extra material on the bottom of the pin boss..
So the pistons are taking a nice vacation back at the manufacture in LA.. and I'm stuck on the build ....... mid-June and no parts... This engine has a black cloud following it around...
