Tom, did you make sure you kept the same rods with the same rod caps? That is very important as well. And make sure you didn't put some on backwards?

For some reason I thought I heard someone say they didn't think matching the caps to rods was a big deal, and I'm almost positive you have to keep them the same, just like cam caps, they're machined to be a perfect fit for each other.
