So I also made an excel spread sheet with all of the consolidated tolerances, specs, and tips that I've accrued throughout my research and over the years. I hope to take a little of the mystery out of the DIY assembly of the rotating assembly/ heads, for anyone that might want to attempt it on their own. This should help with some of the common downfalls of the 2.7l assembly (heads mis-timed, rods installed backwards, etc). If you print it in landscape format, it's 3 pages where you can write the measurements of your engine in. Hope this maybe helps someone! Pay attention, that in the excel file there are separate HEADS and BLOCK sheets/tabs on the bottom.
