pistons finally in
 

well I got the pistons and cylinders installed finally, i did not put any sealant on the cylinder base rings. because i am planing on doing that just before i install and torque the heads did I do it right? or should I have put it on when i slid them down into the spigots?

Now install the cams measure valve/piston clearance, then tear down and use sealant. You are doing it right.
