I got the pistons in today! Only downside is that I can no longer turn the crank with the pistons by hand, at least a full rotations!

I get about 1/2 of a turn then it's REALLY tough; it's getting hung up on something and I'm guessing it's the thrust bearing (clevite). If i put a socket & wratchet on the crank it's pretty easy to turn with minimal to little effort.

Also painted the upper cam sprocket cover. Not sure if this is the color I will be going with or not, I'm basically 50/50 on it. It's aluminum finish.
