Piston I D

and those are not quench dome pistons
I'd dummy up all four corners and check clearances
also you are going to have lefts and rights so make sure the valve notches are in the right place for the heads
and the chamfers on the bearings match the crank if it has radius and the non chamfered side of the rods are next to each other and squirters - if the rods have them are pointed where they should be

Thx for the info. I will check the details. These are going in a 360 LA that I'm building as a street cruiser on pump gas. The engine was built by a "pro shop" 10 years ago but never installed. PO rotated the assembly periodically and had it in a heated space. I know its +.060, rod and mains have been turned .020. Since I'm replacing the damper, flywheel, and now the rods and pistons, I plan having the assembly balanced. Using 596 heads with small valves and pretty mild cam, but will ck the clearance. The existing badger flattops calced at 8.4CR These should put me near 9.25 CR but still OK for pump gas. I'll recalc CR after I check these parts. Can always adjust some with head gasket thickness.
