Great build! The only thing i wonder about is, you checked your bearing clearance with the plastigage after you had already put the lube on. Whouldnt the lube throw it off slightly?

Hope you put the money I paid for your old trans in good use!

LOL every pennie! So how did the trannie workout for you?
 
Good to know about the lube, keep up the good work!
 
The piston tops look to be ceramic coated.
Did you use Swaintech?

Oh, and killer build by the way.
Did you use a stretch gauge on your rod bolts, or just torque them to 40ft*lbs and hope for the best?

Hell no, i used TCC piston top coating

Not sure what you mean about hoping for the best, ive built quite a few bottom ends and never had a problem with new rod bolts, i only use a stretch gauge if the rods are used.
