I mic'ed all of the bearings. I didn't check the piston to valve clearance since I'm using stock replacement pistons that have the same dished shape as the stockers did. I would have done that if I were running some aftermarket higher compression pistons, but these are stock compression which is 8.5:1 if I remember correctly. Plus, if one cylinder was off, Id expect them to all be off.

I also did a compression check the other day and it has 140psi, minimum is 100psi.
