some test fitting in the block now:
the block was decked for proper headgasket seating,
piston cd was calculated to be 0.2mm above deck,
now piston protrudes 0.35mm @ TDC,
this is OK with a 1.5mm thick race headgasket.
the rod small end is free between the piston pin bosses,
may require some shims to limit the front/aft slack,
although some 2.7 stroker perform nicely without any shims.
the 2.0 block needs some grinding to clear the rods,
oil gallery is in the way as usual,
but also the lower part of the bores,
I aimed at a minimum clearance of 1mm everywhere.
