Well the shortblock assemby in my 350 chevy has finally been put together. The crank is standard as well as the engine bore.

The pistons are new with molly rings, but the engine feels really tight. How do I judge to see if this is Ok?

I did check the crank rod and main journals, all seemed good. The bores were standard and also checked good.

It could be ok, but I wanted some educated experience before I proceed with the final assemby.

Many Thanks to all!
