Hey Chip, No it's not assembled yet, this was a mockup without rings to look at what I could, with the pieces I had. It's back apart now and the lower end is out for balancing.
Thank you for that advice...folks also PM'd with similar statements, so I am expecting to correct problems.
Couldn't mock up any valvetrain yet since my parts collection is incomplete. And I think I want something better than stock rockers so I will go shopping pretty soon.
