Thread: First time 454 rebuild

I'm not certain if it operated correctly as it hasn't run in many years. I'll check to see if the chamfers line up correctly, and I'll be marking them correctly to prevent future confusion. I was wondering if the last mechanic maybe marked them on accident, then just made note of their mistake.

Any ideas about the discoloration on a couple of the rods while the rest are uniform? This isn't a great picture, but two of then are more of a rusty color.

Thanks for the input guys, I'm sure I'll be supplying plenty more questions as this job progresses.
