Once you get the crank clearanced to the point that you can turn it 360 degrees with a coat hanger feeling your way around and the coat hanger not getting stuck, your ready to mount the rods and pistons. I installed the pistons one at a time with the bearings coated in assembly lube and the pistons coated with 10-30 engine oil. The pistons are cut for vallve reliefs, so its a simple matter of looking at the heads and determine what orientation the valves are coming in at and put the pistons in this way. Once I get them in I used a vibra-etch tool to mark each rod cap with its cylinder number. This way after the block comes back from the machine shop I can get them back exactly where they go. Go ahead and just hand snug the rods for now, no need to torque them for this clearance issue. We will spend the next few hours grinding, cleaning, re-assembling.
