do you have the rings on the pistons? If not put them on and put the piston in the hole. Check your clearance. Although that seems a bit loose to me. You can mic the pistons and the hole and find out how much clearance you should have as well.

rings are not on yet, I checked the piston in the video and I am afraid to clearance the rings if the bore is incorrectly done.

I just threw the rings into the bore, and I was told they are set at 0.022" end gap, and I measured it at 0.023", and the pistons have a very large taper on them... I have a friend coming by soon and we will measure everything up and make sure, then we can get this beast together.
