I noticed that also and it's hard to tell in the bearing/rod pics but are the caps on the correct way???? can't see the index tang in the cap.

Also---zoomed in on the pics of the marks on the cylinder walls and noticed that there are some very deep scratches in the wall result of a nasty hone job!!!!!!!!those deep marks as part of the hone crosshatch pattern shouldn't be there----------

Also-------can you post some pics of your rocker set up???? From your description , I don't believe I have ever seen a system for an FE like your describing it------
