looking very good

[Retro_10s]

have you marked and remembered which slots the pushrods came from?

From looking at the engine code... Your engine is a 998 that should have flat top pistons with circlip wrist pin retention

dont no i didnt do ma dad did al find out what will happen if i didnt?

[Retro_10s]

Well it's not the end of the world but each Pushrod will wear to it's own rocker head and follower,.. so it's nice if you can keep them together as a matched 3-some, it's general practice to do it that way when building/disemboweling engines,....
