You guys are so knowledgeable, I loving it, I am aiming for the 8.5, I kept all the lifters with a number in the bottom according to their position.
The cam is a dynotec pc314 which is the same as a crow cam 21602, it has the 208 and 208 as well, this is abit small but it's I the range I would like, I never really rev past 4k (if that aha) I've always driven diesels and hurts me to rev that high.
If I can't get the comp low enough I might get some small dishes machined into the pistons, I have decided to get the 351 rods as it'll be a cheaper alternative to new pistons and rings when these pistons are still good and the rings are still good too.
Been struggling to find a place to do a crank grind for a reasonable price, local place wanted 880 plus gst and cleaning fee but a fella on a Facebook group has kinda got me sorted with a 300$ for crank exchange for crack test, grind, and polished! Hopefully doesn't fall through!
Old mate said he'll order them in wholesale for me and the price of 351 rods are about 250-300 a set and the hypatech pistons on eBay to suit the 302 rods are 483 so I imagine he can get them for 300ish direct and new rings are the go. I use 95 or 98 now anyway as the current 302 in it I built over Christmas but just not overly happy with it. Uts probably not happy with me tryna push around 3.2t. I mainly use it for work as I have a motorbike for a daily to and from uni.
The cam thankyou! I tried pc314 but couldn't find anything but dynotech it comes up straight away!

The timing chain is double row and is still very tight.
