Thanks alot for the actual numbers for the lift, I have been searching all night for anything saying what I could go to. From what I have read, .512 lift is the most recomended for my application, but I think that is a little more than I need. I have yet to get in touch with crane or comp, but I will wait to hear what they say before deciding. Thanks alot for your input. I agree with you on the lube in assembly, not any such thing as too much.
In the absence of a decent machine shop, I have thought to use a lip reamer sold at the local parts store to remove my cylinder lip, sells for about $75. Ever used such a tool? Wondering if it is worth the purchase.

Thanks for all the info so far.
