bit of progress on this finally!

so we've got some new pistons, which are dished and .030 down in the bore over stockers, and I've also put them in the mill and taken another ~ .025 off them, really wanted to get the compression down, after ccing and checking it looks like we'll have about 8.5:1 comp which should be very nice!

so got the bottom end assembled this weekend, nothing really too much to see other than some new pistons and ARP bits!
