We have
established that your connecting rods are not a matched set.
Unfortunately two of the rods have obviously been replaced
at some point in the past. Those two rods have a very
different weight at the journal ends than the other ten. In
the circumstances I would recommend that we obtain a
replacement set from Carrillo or Pauter.

We have the engine tear down well underway
and have already discovered some significant issues. One of
the first things we noticed were mismatched cylinder head
gaskets. The right hand cylinder head gasket was leaking,
largely due to excessive liner protrusion (.009") from the
deck surface of the block. The left hand cylinders were all
within spec between .003" and .004". The cylinder bores are
standard size and are also out of round, as evidenced by the
shadowing in the photograph below. Valve stem to guide
clearance was excessive.
We have already designed and ordered a set of new forged
pistons.
