BTW- I do plan on having the rods reconditioned with new bearings and ARP bolts since that is cheap and easy. The crank is very nice and just needs a polishing for now. I typically always go for the full rebuild and use moly rings. This is the first engine I am building as a "re-ringer", so what are the recommended rings?
If you go with a rering buy the cheapest cast iron rebuilder rings you can find like Grant, Pacific, Hastings, any of the those will work on a cheapy rebuild. If you can find a stock set of those that are 4.045 bore size(.005 over stock) get them and file the rings to fit your bores individually, real race motor technology

With forged pistons I am running .012, the type of piston determines what clearance you need. Hypers require the .0025, cast is a little more at around .004-.006, Tim
Your not actually running .012 clearence you mean .006 clearence. Right?
