We did check the clearances with plastigauge and all came out well. It wasn't apparent based on the first photo, but I did wipe all of the cylinder bores down with PB prior to installing the pistons. I did pre-oil the piston prior to installing them. I still need to wipe down the lifter bores prior to installing them. I was hoping to get that done today but it may not get done. Thanks for your suggestions! Any other advice you can offer is greatly appreciated!
