I like the #s. How much deck clearance are you running and what HG(don't recall)? Did the head get shaved or any other work?

Im assuming they are the 2618 alloy, But not 100% sure.

0 Deck, HG?. No head or block shaving, ( i did rework the head 0630).Im trying not to cut anything that dont need it.

Head Gasket (duh) Im not sure, Im not to much worried about the quench since its 0 deck, May even be a little out of the hole with 002 rod bearings. But my main concern is the bore size. I like the fire ring to be as far away from the heat as possible. ( i build a lot of Blower motors). I have only checked the Fel-Pro, And its 4 Inch exactly. I want to find one with 4.030 if possible. Makes me wonder what the ones running 4 inch bores are using?

This work? or you need the pin side?

Thanks for the quick pic. How thick is it above the top ring land?

Sorry its been so long, got dishearted with the machine shop and have been on other prodjects. For your question From the top of the top ring land, to the top of the piston is 255 thousants. I also weighted it and it weighted 474 grams, Where the stock piston weighted 576 grams. If you need more let me know and ill try to answer sooner.

Just wanted to update, Got my rods re sized with the new bolts. I'm not totally satisfied with the out come, But will probably use them. I can post pictures if anyone is interested, Just haven't cleaned them up yet. (didn't want them rusting so i left the honing oil on them).
