Hypers are above 12% , say 16% They are ok for stock rebuilds to tighten up clearences to help with blowby and piston noise , but i along with Marv have had bad experiences with them and will never use them in a performance application again . This is my opinion and i tried to explain it the best i could .

Well hotrod 80 you explained is well enough for me. Now I am a little nervous on this rebuild. I guess since the pistons are mounted on the rod, and they are press fit, this will be a live and learn motor. I'm not new to the sport, but I haven't built too many high performance ones like so. Well guess I can build it right, minus the pistons, and give her a shot!!
I'll keep you updated on the build and post some pictures or videos when I get the chance.
Thanks for your help and input.
