I am masking everything off (heads and block) for paint now. Once the enamel is fully cured I will begin reassembly. I know there are a couple tiny pieces I will be forgetting, but save waiting for parts this build is about to begin.

I will post pictures of my progress as I get the chance.
Sounds good

LAN knows the piston specs, so, whatever he says. If Piston has stock compression distance [pin center to top] and you are using stock headgasket, .006" removed may be perfect for octane tolerance with 11.1:1.

Again, whatever LAN says, he would know the specs

Waiting for pictures
