Lots of good input.

A few more follow ups:
1. Lifter source recommendation?
2. Before I declare the short block 100% good as is, what would be acceptable bore wear in thousandths of an inch? As stated before, compression is good in all cylinders and it does not smoke. Thinking out loud if I can swing ICON forged pistons and 5140 rods without having to bore 0.030 over. Doubtful I can do it,, but a thought.
