Still had a low tech Hemi pan on it as well....... no vacuum pump, no gas ported rings.

And .003"+ excessive piston clearance on a .060" oversize block that couldn't be re-honed w/ a torque plate cuz the bores distorted too much to clean up properly. It just got touched up w/o the torque plate, and I used MLS gaskets to try and reduce some of the distortion that a composition gasket would allow.
If nothing else, the bottom end is "well seasoned".
