Thanks for all the advice. I will see if I can get the Plastigage around here and check the oil clearance which I found a video on I will also check the ring gap first. I did scrape the carbon out of the piston ring groove with an old ring section which was no easy task…Im glad I asked about this, as I said I assumed everything would fit like a big puzzle. Im in no hurry to get this done as I figure Im on a two year schedule
