You might want to check the clearance between the small end of the rods to the bottom of your pistons before you get them pressed in just as a precaution. I'm not sure how to do that though.

The machine shop noticed. They had to grind some off the top(s) for clearance. Everything is super smooth now.

Very good.
Bulltear has sold they're Pistons to others on this forum with a full circular dish
in similar dish volumes as yours, and that's not the direction to go in a normally aspirated engine.
Wait, you're saying circular dish is not the direction to go in a normally aspirated engine? D dish is alright I hope!

Yes, I was quite pleased. After reading some of the forum discussion/complains on bulltear.com, I was worried they would take forever to arrive, not to mention the quality would be questionable. Three week delivery time and their craftsmanship is without question.
