Rods/Pistons

Today we assembled the rods and pistons. We had to hone the wrist pin bore in the piston to accept the 0.912" pin (+0.007x"). Tomorrow and Saturday we will balance and polish the crank and then have the shortblock complete minus the camshaft.
The heads are pretty much done as far as porting and polishing goes, now we are cutting the valve seats for the larger valves, and putting in new valve guides for the 8mm stems. After that the heads will be decked just enough to be stright and then attached with some ARP head bolts.
