Ok, so here it is: as explained by "tech", I did the measurements with the feeler guage and came up with a strange reading-60 mm from piston tdc to deck height. Now I've been told 350s usually have between 10 and 15. My question: what did I do wrong or what is going on? HELP!!

You didn't have the piston at top dead center. The measurement should be somewhere between zero and 0.045". What's with the mm? Get a set of feeler gauges that reads in thousandths of an inch. Wadda you, a foreigner?

I brought each piston on each 4 corners of the block to TDC. I was "told" that they were in MM (the feelers) and that was the reading. As I said-, Ize jes nawt too dang edjamacayted on this heer fast motr billdin stuuufff. TRial and error right?
