UPDATE: Heads are on, ptv clearance is so good the valves didn't even touch the clay I put on the pistons, pushrod length is right on and I'm getting compression now, I can barely turn it by hand. Just need to bolt back on the intake and blower. Start up looks good for this weekend!

I got them today, thanks a ton. I'll be leaving you some positive feedback in a few minutes.
That's a long as drive, better call ahead, lol.
Yeah for sure man. Once I post up that it's running, hit me up with a pm with your address and I'll drive by.

Hey one question for you. I see that you are running the adjustable chain, as a last check, make sure the lower gear has the keyway lined up with the zero advance mark. I see you have the dots lined up, but that means very little is the crank gear is installed in the wrong keyway.
There should be three keyways cut into the crank gear, one for 0 degrees, one for -4, and one for +4.
Good luck!

Yeah, I see what you thought, there are two sets of numbers, it's a little confusing. I don't remember my other adjustable timing chain being like that but my memory sucks lol. The numbers on the teeth are for lining up on the dot of the cam gear and then there are another set of numbers on the crank gear closer to the crank that are for lining up with the keyway on the crank.
