well, my problem is i have the DSM disc, feeler gauges and all the clearance specs (according to the DSM disc), but im not sure what exactly im im supposed to be checking and where.
I have the crank in with the crank bearings and the bedplate assemb. to the block. oil and H2o pump in place as well. thats where im at so far. what clearances should i check/have checked up to this point?

im getting help with the rings, but i have the rods and pistons put together.

okay, lemme have it.
thanks guys
