I would have the machine shop verify piston to cylinder wall clearance is correct.[/quote[
I will do that
I would have a machine shop check rod and main bearing clearances. Getting the block lined hone so that main bearing clearances are perfect is a good idea too.
I will do this too
Before you have the heads done you might want to mock it all up and verify intake fits correctly so if you have to have the intake surfaces milled you will know before the heads are finished. Because once those heads are all done you are not going to want to take them all apart and get them milled.
Agreed. Heads are already done and ready to bolt on less new springs. I will be doing a complete mock-up build to verify ALL fit and function variables - pending cam purchase and install, then I will verify piston to valve clearance too
