I didn't put this motor together either. So far I've been into it for a blown head gasket, worn bronze cam gear and this.
Also make sure the push rods do not rub the block. Ran into this years back with stage 6 heads and larger push rods. Had to clearance the block in several area's due to rubbing and deflection on the push rods. Just something to look for. As a side note...I will allow the push rod to rub as a dampening technique. But it can not alter the trajectory of the rod...now back to your regularly scheduled thread.
