musclecargt500,

Man I hate to see your pistons in upside down, especially since they are double spiro lock. It is an easy mistake to make since the pistons don't have a front marking. I'm sorry you have to pull it all apart now, I know how satisfying it feels when you finally get that last piston in. Anyway, if you had your machinist assemble the pistons and rods, take them back to him because you will spend HOURS on those spiro locks. Every one needs to be taken off and turned around. You can also double check to be sure you have the rings on right - they have a top and a bottom as well (at least most of them do). By the way, as long as you do not damage any of the bearings there is no need to buy new ones. Keep it up and be sure to post more pictures as you top it out.
