back on track-getting my bearings

Long story short, I was able to pick up the correct bearings for the new motor today. Wrong ones came with order, corrected-new ones were previously used/installed. 3rd set came today and was installed. Mains ended up ranging between 0.002-0.0025” except rear main which was 0.003” machinist did a zero deck which was tested with the std bearings instead of the 10/10 bearings... so with my dial gauge i read a piston standing 0.0075 proud of the block.. hmmmm... good thing i didnt order the 043 gasket and have the 052 felpro.. hmmm...
Rods were 0.002 and all was installed just fine. Except I used the ring filer 5 too many turns and took one moly top ring from 0.017 to 0.031 which is almost 0.009 too much. So now I have to find a SINGLE moly top ring …. Argggg…
Whatever. Got my new 104 locking hubs. They are the 3/4turn stainless version instead of oldschool 1/4turn.
