Bent up stuff

I always do whatever work I can on my own. However, the Pro Comp stuff was a completely new learning experience for me. I did not get sent any specs at all when the products arrived. Just parts. So, I bolted everything together. The only problem I had was I didn't check my deck height and the piston was actually traveling out of the cylinder .027. So I bought cometic head gaskets .100. I also changed cams while motor was apart. I ordered 7.250 pushrods because machinist said that was what I needed. He ordered them. I do not know the manufacturer. The springs are Comp Cams matched to my camshaft. When we started the motor it definitely lacked the lope it had prior to new cam. The exhaust even sounded stranger to me. Kind of weaker is how I can best describe it. The car still pulled hard and ran strong. I believe I could hear the springs break though because it sounded like a snapping sound. Pistons are flattop .30 over. Anything else I can think of I will add.
