Default Suggestions for replacing 5.7 V-8 Cracked Block

That's interesting. I wonder what you are supposed to do with pistons that
have flycuts directly under the valves for extra valve clearance.

Crusaders, I can add one more item: The pistons have to be mounted on the
rods pointing to the back of the engine on the counter-rotating unit.

This
is because the pistons are slightly asymetrical, with more material and a
stronger skirt on the side of the piston subject to side-thrust when the
cylinder fires. Your engine will not live very long if you do not do

this.
