Did you match up the piston valve notches with the valve placement in the heads...
And did you offset the ring gap...
Torque with the proper lube??

All good questions and thanks for confirming
When I first hung the pistons I did not think about the valve reliefs and needed to rehang half of them.... it sucked... There is a left and a right in the kit you you do have to pay attention. I also have all the rods hung correctly with the large chamfer towards the crank.
I set all the ring gaps, took me over a day to do. I decided on the circle track spec which equated to basically .023 2nd and .022 first. I felt I'd rather have a little too much gap and not worry about heat expanding the rings and cracking the piston. It also sucked but the are right on for each hole.
I used ARP lube for all bolts except the rod bolts because Carrillo has a special lube they want to use for there specs
