a stormy day here today but not storming in the shop.i didn't get done what i planned on,never do but progress just the same.i spent some time cleaning up the bottom end of the block,installed the main bearings and verified the clearances and checked the thrust bearing clearance.all good,re-installed and lubed the crank.i checked all the ring gaps and then started fitting rings and installed 4 pistons,checking the rod bearing clearances.everything is fine,no issues,i guess that's why i drive 3 hours to my regular machine shop i've used for about 35 years,even though there are others closer?4 more pistons to install tomorrow along with whatever else i get done?
