It all helps, part of the problem with my motor is its tired. At one point it sat for 2 yrs, previous to that it had probably 250 passes,and 5 yrs before that it was in a Ramcharger lol. I really want to go too a GenIII heemee but cost is an issue so I'm thinkin taking another block I have building a 511 and then later on putting good rods and pistons in the current engine and selling it.
