I think the issue is in the measurement setup. I mean, if you had somebody machine the case, part of the process is checking your work afterward. Who did the machining?

How did you mount the bridge? I used the standard measurement bridge and had to space it up with some gage blocks on either side.

Where did you measure? I assume the JEs have a ring around the outside of the piston. Or did you measure to the top of the crown and subtract the dome height as furnished by JE?

How did you zero the indicator, how did you establish that you were at TDC when you zeroed?

What kind of clock, digital or analog?

Not trying to grill you but I would double check the metrology of the deck height measurement before moving on to the rods.

Craig Garr machined up a steel checking bar that mounted in the mains for checking spigot height, I think there is a photo in the forum.
