Thanks for all your input I really appreciate your opinions,
First let me say that this is the first time I have every used any kind of assembly lube on a cylinder wall and it was suggested by a very reputable builder. I skimped on that procedure because I took a very small amount of the lube on a white rag around my finger and put about a thin 1" circle about mid way up the cylinder. In the past I have only used WD 40 or a light coat of 30W motor
oil during the piston assembly.
I got my
oil pump in yesterday and it had some damage to the input shaft so I called Summit and they immediately sent my replacement out and arranged to pick up the damaged one. They were very appologetic for the problem. I personally think they are great to do business with.
For now everything is on hold until I get the last couple of parts to button everything up and take it down to the dyno. Back in the bag it goes.
