I guess my feeling on this is the following ... and just my opinion. You had an engine that was rebuild and then failed shortly after rebuild for unknown reason. You got a bunch of parts back and have no measurements or specs on the parts or rebuild .... at least thats what I got out of your orig post in another thread. Have your rods been looked at since the orig rebuild by another builder and spec'd? If so then disregard. If you are going to have everything measured and spec'd then have it all done. Having the cylinders measured saves you from finding out issues later when you are assembling the engine and trying to get a specific deck height. It cost maybe $50 to have all this done and then you have known specs etc. As you know rebuilding these engines is not cheap and not worth rushing.
