Good morning,
I have checked the piston crown, the result was they are all equal in height.
I then checked the con rod centres height,
The result was two rods are :- 5.575” and two are 5.560”.
This would explain all, I shall now use the two long ones on 1 & 4 so they are near the main bearings.
The two short ones will be 2 & 3 so they don’t hit the head if the crankshaft bends at higher revs.
I will use an appropriate shim to have the height of 1 & 4 equal to or slightly below the top face of the block.
Does this sound like a good plan?
