    OK well update is as follows got the jugs back . Cleaned up in 10 thou for a bore size 4.135 new set of je pistons as a new set of rings . Had to go ahead and hone the guides just a smidgen they were on the tight siDE mostly on the exhaust as they tend to varnish up a bit due to the fact as they will pass a little oil .ported the intakes just below the valve seat as the se heads come through with a lot of of casting in that area .don't know why the last builder left it like that.the exhaust side was done? And I went ahead and blended all the ports also .I'll post some pics as I put it together.more to come

    The Builder you choose if very important on your build.
    Same goes with the set of heads you have done.

    And the time they take to look at every part of the motor for you.
    And the right combination of parts chosen.

    Sucks to have a new engine and got problems out of it.

    Lots of bulk cubes run fine it's the owner that beats on them that hurts them and all the other parts that can't keep up. Every see a dyno of a big engine watch how quick it brings in massive torque

    And also letting them build a little temp before you beat on them don't hurt either .just saying!
