Looks good Chris! Should work out just fine. I won't give you shit for numbering you pistons backwards, although it is tempting :D

Steve, just noticed your other post. Trying to compensate for compression issues with thicker head gaskets is a good way to push your quench area out of acceptable range. You only really have a .020" window for it.

That's they uhmm, "European" way of numbering. Yeahh..that's it.

Actually what happened is I labeled the valve cover with the cylinder numbers wrong a while ago. And I keep using those marks when changing spark plugs (I always label and keep my old ones for some reason), etc. Now I have some good incentive to fix those labels; humiliation. ;)

Hahaha, don't be humiliated, I knew there was a silly reason and that you know which side is really #1. I just don't have the self control to prevent me from not having fun with it anyway. Character flaw on my part. But I can live with it.
