My 360 Magnum build thread

It's been months since I got the block back from Kellys.

I did a quick mock up of the cranks and rods/pistons to check deck height and found that a few of my pistons now pop above the deck by 1 to 2 thou, which makes me uneasy about using an .039 gasket...

The next potential issue I have is when I mounted the rods to the crank I overtightened the rod caps a bit too strong, not sure if I could have squished the rod bearings...

So the two questions I have are:
1. should I address the piston-pop-up issue by
a. have the rods resized
b. have the piston tops cut down on a lathe
2. Should I order new rod bearings to be safe

Hope everything has been good for all here, sorry to have been gone so long!
