squaring and trueing the deck Tolerance
Machine shop trued and squared the deck, what is the standard tolerance they should be held to? Just measured piston to deck surface front to back we are getting .006 difference, was not expecting to see that much of a difference. The crank was also reground due to spun 1+2 rod bearings, two new rods installed. I'm guessing that's were the problem lies since the other cylinders are true and square. Thoughts ??
1+2= .008
3+4= .003
5+6= .002
7+8= .002
1+2= .008
3+4= .003
5+6= .002
7+8= .002

I replied in your YB thread too.
I think checking the piston position at BDC might answer some questions too. If the crank grinder was out a little more on that rod journal to fix the damage, then you may have a little more stroke just on those two cylinders. If it is in the rods and pistons, then stroke would be the same.

Thanks for your input, great idea on checking stroke/crank swing without pulling it a part.

Cranks was magnafluxed and checked for cracks, none found. The Crank journals were ground .010 to clean up the spun bearing.
I have never seen an engine with all pistons sticking out of the hole exactly the same. These are normal variances that all blueprinted engines have
