I did not detect an oil film on the intake but I am not sure if it is a mist if it would be obvious. The stem seals seem to be staying put but I plan to change them regardless.
I like the idea of measuring the clearance with a dial indicator.
I was hoping not to pull the rear main seal and crank as it appears to be dry. I appreciate the advice on how best to handle the hone with the crank in place.
The rings came with the stroker kit and I believe they were Moly. I plan to use Moly rings this time just to be sure.
I have the rod bearings in place and in order so they go back in the same location.
