But it sounds like you have unhappy ports. If the short turn was fugged up now without the epoxy, would that make the torque come in low and down, then not run up top. With the floor lowered it would seem the it would have to turn moreshruggy


OK.
In my defense I am an old man who has crippling CRS evidently. I have been working on parts for 2 different engines while researching rods for my exploded blower motor. And the 7.1 rod has stuck in my head for whatever reason. The rods in my 572 are 6.86 hemi length. So you caught me with my head up my A**
The real math is 6.86+2.25+1.105 = 10.215 deck height on a .500 short KB hemi block. Piston was .010 down in the bore. Piston is now .012 out of the bore after machining the o rings out.

Sorry for the confusion.. bow
